A Happy 1^st Mother’s Day poem:

Happy first Mother's Day!

A joint venture of

Puberty, pregnancy,

Poop, pee, and love!

Yet speaking of mothers,

Maybe you've heard

Of how much sheer wonder

There is in a word:

Home to each pilgrim,

Enduring embrace,

Roost for each rambler

'Twixt grievance and grace;

Salve for each wound,

Dappling despair,

A love one must leave

Yet always is there.
