To the brand-new mums
the nappy-poo mums
may you have joy.
To the seasoned mums
the much-needed mums
may you have delight.
To the funny mums
the sunny mums
may you laugh some more.
To the neatness mums
the sleekness mums
may you sit and relax.
To the sleepless mums
the bleakness mums
may you have sleep.
To the stressed mums
the can’t-get-dressed mums
may healing come.
To the empty-nest mums
the welcome-guest mums
may you be fulfilled.
To the would-be mums
The should-be mums
may you have peace.
To the used-to-be mums
the grieving mums
may you be consoled.
For the mothers we’ve loved
the mothers we’ve lost
may we give thanks.
To all the women of Earth
you women of worth
may you be blessed.
