Maybe There's a Hug for You This Morning

May 8, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is motherhood, in honor of Mother’s Day, which falls on May 8.

Today’s poem is about the difficulties and joys of motherhood.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Maybe there’s a hug for you this morning,
Opening your heart to happiness.
The sacrifices are far more than you
Had thought in your worst fantasies you knew,
Exacting more than language can express.
Regardless, you would do again no less
Since joy comes every day with little warning.
