Maternal Love: Dedicated to Beth

    

                       

Maternal Love

Works of art will come and go

Man made objects all

Pyramids crumble 

Statues tumble 

The sands of time will make them fall

Nature has enduring objects 

Or so it seems sometimes

But mountains erode 

Volcanos explode

And celestial bodies collide 

But something is more infinite 

A love that is maternal

Nothing last longer 

Nothing is stronger 

Than a Mother’s love eternal

Each year there is a special thanks

To those who often carry

The heavy load

So much is owed

They held us tight 

Throughout the night 

When dreams became too scary...

For the bandaids taped

On the knees we scrapped

For the no “B. S.”

When we failed that test...

For the patience shown

For the gift of life

For the sound advice

Between wrong and right

For all theses things

And many more

To you we simply say....

That once a year we celebrate

On this second Sunday in May

A hope that you sincerely have

A wondrous and ecstatic 

A warm unproblematic 

Dynamic and dramatic

And overall emphatic 

Happy Mother’s Day 

Dedicated to Beth
