Hello, and happy mother’s day to all mothers out there.
I first wrote this 16 yrs. ago when I was a young single mother of two
“rugrats.” It had gotten published at the time in a small newspaper.
so here is a look at the “sarcastic side” of Mother’s day.
please enjoy.
Luna
It’s Mother’s day!
oh no
It’s here again.
Time to call
all my friends
To wish them
a happy day too.
Even if
it might not
come true.
It’s Mother’s day!
soo full of fun
I think I got
too much sun!
A box of chocolates
a flower or two
I think I might
Be getting the flu!
All my chores
still need to be done
isn’t this supposed
to be a day
of fun?
Don’t you see?
Something might be
wrong here!
Thank goodness
it comes
only once a year!

Thank you Jingle!
If I flew a 1000 paper lanterns
Way up in the sky
Would you see them from your window
If they flew real high?
Would 1000 paper lanterns
Travel that far away?
A 1000 miles through the air
Could they go that far today?
Would you know when you saw them
That they came from my heart
That I miss you so much every day
And we are so far apart.
And when your sister follows soon
My world will fall apart
And I will send a 1000 lanterns
For both daughters of my heart.
And when you see them in the air
Know they are from me.
And that I will love you both
From now through Eternity.
