Poem for Mother's Day




Every spirit that walks this good earth
Was once some mother's perfect baby boy or girl.
Born with a roar of triumph
With relief and laughter
With the deepest longing and hope…
That this little one,
This precious child
Might know a better, kinder world.

I imagine the greatest honor
and finest gift we could give our mothers,
Is to try without ceasing
To create that better world.

--Carrie Newcomer
