More Fortunate

Not everyone on Mothers’ Day
Has cause for celebration.
For some, it’s health or distance
That provides the explanation.

For others, complications
May have caused a nasty break
Which may fester even though
It might have all been a mistake.

But for those of us more fortunate,
This day provides a chance
To hang out with kids and grandkids,
Maybe do a silly dance.

Get a card addressed to “Nana,”
Eat a meal a son prepared
And feel gratified when thinking
Of the day you all just shared.
