Happy Mother's Day 2018

Happy Mother's Day to all moms. You are our rock and we love you!
Mother’s Day by David Young
        --for my children
I see her doing something simple, paying bills,
or leafing through a magazine or book,
and wish that I could say, and she could hear,

that now I start to understand her love
for all of us, the fullness of it.

It burns there in the past, beyond my reach,
a modest lamp.
