My Poem for Mother's Day: A Mother's Gift

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I am grateful to every mother
who has given us
a child

That gift

brings so much joy
to us
who are lucky enough

to know
that new life

Otherwise
our world is small, pale, sad,
stuck.

So I say to every mom

Thank you
for your gift of love to us.

We would be so much poorer without
the gift you bore~

Your child.

"Otherwise
our world is small, pale, sad,
stuck."

And what does that say about those who are childless by choice?

Other than that stanza I thought the poem was great.

6. Insulting us is especially ok today - not that I really care, because I'll be having a great day

Without children in my small, pale, sad world :rofl:

7. I know the feeling.

I never considered a nice, quiet Sunday to be small, pale, and sad, but hey, what do I know?

:toast:

8. Beautiful and so true... I have always felt that social security

benefits should cover moms and dads who raise their kids full time....
