Mom’s the word

Kick up your heels, crocs, birkenstocks
Flip flops, nikes or plain ole feet;

Today’s the day where many moms meet
At that mighty mountain: Motherhood
So here’s my cyber-blessing maternal greet

Celebrate your family
Seize today, tomorrow, and thereafter
Fill your time with meaning, love, light and laughter

Marvel at the magnitude of multifaceted mom gifts
(Without us there’d be
little work for therapists).
