Mothers
In 1958, Bing Crosby sang “Thank Heaven for little Girls”
They grow up to be pretty girls and beautiful woman
They fall in love and get married
and they became the mothers of the world.
They give birth, they care, they feed, they raise their kids, teach them,
and love them no matter what

Mothers' Day Wishes
Maybe this year, he’ll remember:
Once a year’s not asking much
To send a bunch of flowers –
Has he even heard of such?
Even if he has, seems the florist’s
Rather too far for him to walk,
So he just sends a token;
Doesn’t even want to talk
At length to me, or even phone.

done through mirrors
slivers sliced thinner

paper onions
still see her

Two words could not contain more depth
For she was lost to me long before
She left this earth
Or so I thought
Until the parting of the clouds
So brief
To gi...
