Mother's Day (Poem)

Mother’s Day it was just here

It came and passed just like last year

The calendar says which day

The second Sunday of each May

Another day, another year

Yet this year was so different

The difference was significant

On the calendar it was the same

But in my heart it will never be the same

The calendar is indifferent

What makes this day so special?

Is it physical or is it mental?
I told my mom ‘Happy Mother’s Day’

For that was all I was able to say

Three words that left me so emotional

Does time or distance dull it’s meaning?
Can we as people really know it’s meaning?

My kids they told me ‘Happy Mother’s Day’

And those three words made my day

Close to my heart they now have meaning

Sounds the same as any year

But let me make the difference clear

I spoke those words to my mom in heaven

My kids spoke those words through an old invention (telephone)
Don’t miss the meaning, don’t miss another year
