My Mothers' Day
My son made the arrangements –
Got the flowers and the food.
My husband, daughter, grandkids,
In-laws rounded out the brood.
We haven’t been together since
Pandemic time began
But Mothers’ Day and sunshine
Formed the basis of the plan:
A talent show indoors and then
An afternoon outside,
With space to play and lunch
And even birthday cake supplied.
The moms all got bouquets,
My daughter frolicked with the grands
And anyone with family,
I’ll bet, surely understands
That sometimes just a get-together’s
All you really need
To emphasize the love and help
Despondency recede.
