Mothers Are as Mothers Do

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Mother’s Day.

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

A Mother’s Day poem about the need to celebrate substitute mothers:

Mothers are as mothers do, and yet
Often they are neighbors, friends, or aunts.
The common thread is love that will endure -
Hardy, patient, generous, and sure,
Embrace beyond all act or circumstance.
Remember them this day with love, and let
Sweet words reverberate within their hearts and dance.
