Mother's Day Poem

A Love Second to One

You loved me before I was born,
Wove my body inside your own,
Mended my buttons when they were torn.
I never had known
A humanly love so overflown.

Comfort in your voice,
In your scent and your warmth
’Tis not a moment or day,
But a lifetime of joy.

You gave of yourself
What no one could ask,
Your time and self-interest
For my blessing and best.
This was, no doubt, your never-ending quest.

I remember dearly our endless days
When you baked peanut butter cookies
And I watched, amazed.

There is but one love, which outstrips yours -
A love more perfect than a human can show.
It is the one everlasting, older than dinosaurs,
The one I know, in part because of you.
His love is greater, I delight in it with you!

Happy Mother’s day, you loving cuckoo!
I am lucky to say it and I bid you, adieu.
