Happy Mother's Day! A Poem for Moms

Happy Mother's Day to All the Moms Who Read Writer's Notes!
To wish all the moms who read my blog a Happy Mother's Day, I'd like to post my poem, "Mothers." (As soon as you begin reading it, you'll recognize immediately the famous poem on which it's based.)
MOTHERS
I think that I shall never see
a brush surpass the artistry
That brings to bud the eve or morn
a helpless little babe is born
The delicate maternal bloom
that sheds a fragrant new perfume,
That nurtures with the nectar of
a sweet and freely flowing love
And fills her field with beauty spread
by outstretched arms and sun-turned head.
Art can tap one well or other,
but only God can make a mother.

You may have read Mothers on the Orble Poems blog. It's posted there, though on that blog, it's formatted slightly differently.

Have a very Happy Mother's Day!

Glad to hear you had a wonderful Mother's Day with your mom! I did, as well! My nineteen-year-old son--who's a bit of an amateur chef--cooked a fantastic gourmet dinner for my mom and me, my other son, and his two friends and their mom and dad. It was absolutely delicious! We also enjoyed a flower-filled Mother's Day, which is always wonderful!
