A Poem For Mother's Day

All living things have mothers
spiders, bugs and brothers
moose and wolves and cows and horses
and elephants and rats of courses

all living things have mothers
who treat them like no others
until of course they grow a bit
and learn to gather, hunt and knit ...
and little mice and little snakes
are on their own, for goodness sakes.


but whether toddlers on our knee
or all grown up like my sons three
close at hand or far apart
they're still my babies in my heart.
