Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Mother’s Day, which is celebrated on May 13th.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Mother’s Day poem to childless women who stand in for
mothers:
Happy Mother’s Day to
childless mothers
Attending
to the progeny of others,
Perhaps
as aunts or stepmothers or friends,
Pursuing
as their own another’s ends,
Yearning
still for what will never be,
Making
fortune of adversity.
Of
course, even children of the blood
Take off
in time, returning as they would,
Having
their own friends and families,
Embracing
or neglecting whom they please.
Remember
that the past is never past.
‘Mid
tidal tumbling are the things that last,
Submerged
beneath the restless ebb and flow,
Days of
love stored permanently below.
A gift of
love can never be in vain,
Yielding memories
that life sustain.
