Celebrating Mother's Day
By Ron McGrath
There is no parade, no 21-gun salute.
No firing of the cannons
Just a card that says I love you, Mom
But that’s not enough for me.
My heart always aches on this day
Because I know who my Mom is
and what she was.
Here’s to all Moms
I salute you
Because you lead the way
Many kids feel the same way
On this day
Hear the fireworks in your head
And keep the flame in your heart
And just be proud you've tried your best
For us all
Because you’re a real Mom
a woman and a friend
That gave birth to a child
Like you and I
I salute you.
Happy Mother's Day!
