Mother's Day
As Mother's Day approaches, don't take for granted the woman who gave you life, nourished, guided, and loved you all her life. Don't wait until tomorrow to tell her what she means to you; show her today. Some day you would give anything for the chance to do so again. Cherish every moment, every memory, and every chance to give her the gift she cherishes most--hearing you say "I love you mom." Hear me read this and other poems, short stories and excerpts from my works of non-fiction in my podcasts at https://anchor.fm/victor-d-lopez
Book Excerpt
Echoes of Dawn at Dusk: Collected Poems (Volume 2)
Mother's Day
Cherish today the woman you call mom,
Who sacrificed her body and herself for you,
Your fearless champion your entire life,
Her pure love always unconditional.
She who first taught you what it means to love,
And also to distinguish right from wrong,
Taught you to care for other than yourself,
By her example always, not her words.
Your joy her joy for triumphs great and small,
Her anguish hidden for your every fall,
Your first and your most ardent fan in life,
In times you walked in darkness and in light.
Make sure you tell her what she longs to hear,
As often as you can while she still lives,
Not just on Mother's day, but every day,
Some day it will be your only comfort.
There's none so lucky as one whose mom lives,
Love her with all your heart for all she gives.
