It’s about gratitude,
We honor mothers everywhere, indebted to them for our very existence,
And deeply grateful for their untold sacrifices,

It’s about complex loving relationships,
Always comforting but sensitive,
Pulling on our heartstrings like no other,

It’s about a glorious day in Spring,
Bringing relief from rainy April and stormy March,
Life bursting forth everywhere,

It’s about Mother Earth,
Abundant and seemingly eternal,
nurturing but needing us as well

It’s a day of reflection,
Thinking about how we treat mothers everywhere,
And what may be missing,

It’s about joy,
Sharing stories and smiles,
And savoring the moment.
