Today is our lovely Mother's day WHERE EVER BE SHE MAY

Submitted by lovedly on Sun, 2022-05-08 21:41

Today is our lovely Mother's day

all changes
hands face and smile

once who led you to school
now stands cool
awaiting your arrival

the one who buttered your toasts for you
now waits a soft slice of bread from you

the one who kissed you daily to school
now waits for a kiss

will you give
she thinks
a tear flows
down her cheek

she knows smells
now her repose
the son too has also gone
through change
his consort is all
for whom he remains

my son come once again
at least today
'tis my
Mother's rightful day

come and in my arms
do play
just for once
if you may...

if only for a wee while
but now today.

who would make their mother wonder if they are going to come and visit her? Surely not lovedly?

He has not forgotten
he brings her soft bread and honey to eat
He sits her upon his lap
as she once sat him so

Wiping the tears from her eyes
he tells her no surprise
He kisses her brow and
tells her now, Lovedy
loves you always

I found your poem to be very heartwarming and moving.
I wrote to just leave a little thing to help those remember their moms.

You're a good son! ~ Geezer.
