THINKING ABOUT MOTHER’S DAY

THINKING ABOUT MOTHER’S DAY

by Jonathan Caswell

–

I’ve started to think about Mother

And what Mom would likely say…

If we took the time

To keep her in mind

On the up-coming Mother’s Day.

–

The greatest gift she gave her youngest

Was to keep her “blue” baby alive…

In later years perhaps overdid it,

But that remained a major drive.

–

She strong-armed the eldest to ensure

The youngest wouldn’t lose and cry….

The fear was falling unconscious,

Having heart spasms and then die.

–

The cost of her efforts, tremendous,

She really did succeed…

Her youngest is living and carrying on,

While writing his poetry.
