Melancholy Mothers Day

Melancholy Mothers Day

Here we are again 

But this time around 

There’s no sweet Carol

Though her sprit still surrounds 

Your son is stopping by

So you can prepare him brunch

He may even bring you a cake 

At least that is your hunch

Your daughter is too far away

With obligations of her own

But she wishes you the very best

And she’ll call you on the phone

For these blessings you are grateful

It’s hard to ask for more

But one last time just to see your Mom

Come walking through your door

With her white glove on when she arrives

Just like a royal queen

To make sure your abode is spotless

And completely squeaky clean

For you’re a wonderful Mother

And your Mom would surely say

How proud she is as she smiles down

On this Melancholy Mothers Day
