A Mother's Heart

 

In nature and humanity there are all styles of mothering.

There are humans and animals, male and female, who've never given birth

but have a mother's heart and demonstrate that daily.

To mothers and to all those with a mother's heart, 

Thank you

and

Happy Mother's Day.

Mary Was An Astronaunt

The world was full of pestilence

Only a donkey to be found

But that's no consolation

Must keep southward bound

Hollow breaths soil depleted

Onward they did go

Twenty steps a minute

The going was very slow

Leaning into night

Against a purple sky

Feeble were the hopes

They would get by

Mother Mary was a astronaut*

Father Joseph a working man

They traveled on for glory

Found not in a promised Inn

The mystics watched the journey

And knew from whence they came

Betting on the odds

If good or bad would win this game 

Oh, the glory of a stable

The cradle of a King 

Christ was born

Oh, how the angels did sing!

In swaddling clothes a mother held

The King of all man kind

"Happy Mother's Day" Joseph said

As the Northern Star did shine

For Magpie Tales who supplied the picture and for Sunday's Whirligig who provided the words and for Poets United who is celebrating Mother's Day.

To all mothers and all people who "mother" I wish you a Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day...

to all those with a mother's heart.

Pieces of Mother's Day

A Day To Honor Mothers

who do not limit the imaginations of children,

who encourage sports, team work,

and creativity.

Happy Mother's Day should not be limited to the birth mothers.  There are grandmothers, aunts, friends, siblings and teachers that help mold a child, teach by demonstration, and encourage children to excel and enjoy all they do. 

To all of you who have encouraged a child to look closely at an ant hill, played with them in the dirt, traveled through an art museum, a zoo, read a book or simply listened...thank you.  Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day Weekend

Have a great one!

Early Mother's Day

Marcy brought me flowers

and CANDY

And a wonderful soft gown covered with little dogs.

I don't know why she thought I might like dogs

or candy.

I share my bouquet

with all of you.

A home-grown hand-picked gift from Marcy.
