Flowers For You On Mother's Day

I know it's three days late and all the festivities are over, but it would be entirely remiss of me not to wish those of you who are mothers (and those of you who are fathers who have had to assume that role) a Happy Mother's day.

So do take a whiff of the flowers and pat yourself on the back as you read my little ode.

Peace,
Dee

may you bloom in and out of season
as you spread your sweet fragrance
to enhance the lives of your children.

may your love be as gentle as a lily,
as firm as its stalk
and as beautiful as its center.

may you be blessed today and always.
