It
Really Does Matter
Another
Mother's Day
has
come and gone
no
word from the two I've born
no
text, no call
no
card or bouquet at all
makes
me sad
and
tears do fall
they
are better than this
they
really are
but
without a man to mentor
they've
failed the biggest test of all
The
man, my husband
once
yelled
when asked why?
"Don't
look at me. You're not my mother."
then
the tears did fall
each
year the pain does lessen
from
this sharp arrow to the heart
someday
maybe
anon
they'll
truly understand
and
be better champions
to
the little ones
and
the women that make them
men.
