Mother's Day Delights

Mother's Day Delights

Karyn Indursky

Feeling your young wrap their arms
around your waist for a hug
and all your troubles wash away.

 

Receiving special phone calls
from your beloved children to let you
how much they care about you.

 

Having flowers delivered to you
not by a messenger, but your child
as their eyes glow with love for you.

 

Sitting amongst your family
for a dinner not of mere food and conversation,
but a meal of sharing love.

 

Reading a poem your child
wrote about while thinking of you
to express gratitude for all you've done.

 

Wiping your eyes free of tears
not of hurt, but of sheer happiness
for today celebrates appreciation for you,
a mother.
