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 for godmothers:
Godmothers aren't
fairies in a tale,
Offering a world that cannot be.
Demand of them glass slippers and they fail,
More likely to do favors naturally.
On them you can depend for a relation:
They offer gifts and guidance with a kiss.
Having taken on the obligation,
Each freely out of love gives what she is.
Real godmothers have no wands or wings,
So they must work with wisdom, love, and
things.
