Poems
May 2010
From one mothers point of view
I used to be a mother
'til my sons got took away
It is the greatest irony
I found out on this day
You see it was three years ago
I found out they won't be back,
they died together brothers
on the streets of old Iraq
So this day for me is different
and I know I'm not alone
I join a group of shattered moms
Who's children wont be home
But I know my sons they think of me
looking down from up above
and although I'll never get a card
I'll always have their love
So to all the moms out there I say
be your children young or old
Their love will far outlast
any card or gift you hold.
I know I'll see them when I die
then once more they'll take my hand
Until then, mothers old and new
love your children while you can.
My 2010 Mothers Day poem hopes to serve as a small reminder that there are some mothers in the world for whom today is sadly, just another day.
