A Poem For Mother's Day
A MOTHER TO REMEMBER
No smiling child to press a card into her hand
Or a smile into her heart
The Mother’s Day that could have been
Is all she has to hold inside
No place at any restaurant table
Waits for her
Much less a present filled with love
That child she saw but could not touch
Was torn from her by some well meaning fools
What matter now ?
She clutches on forever
To that memory
That hope that she can not erase
However much she tries
Her special child was lost
By one swift careless twist of fate
And yet lives on inside her soul
She sits with tears upon her breast
Hidden by curtains of despair
And dreams in secret
Of that wondrous day
When motherhood returns
As well it may

Beautiful poem.
A lost child is never finished mourning or forgotten.
As a poet I appreciate this a lot.
Thank you.
