Happy Mother’s Day

Gold & silver,
Perhaps a diamond or pearl,
For some women
These gifts are the world.

But for a mother
They cannot compare
To a gift from a child
Found almost anywhere.

When that tiny little person
You love & adore
Presents you with a dandelion bouquet–
A “weed” found near your back door.

You’ll never look at a dandelion
As a “weed” or in the same way
After your baby presents you a handful
For Mother’s Day.
