Weekly Poems: Mother’s Day Poems and More
MOTHERING SUNDAY, MOTHERING SUNDAY
Mothering Sunday, Mothering Sunday,
Oh, what gratitude –
Till Monday!
Have a bit o’ bliss
Each one day
Reserved as your
Intended fun day.
Nor should a normal
Got-to-run day
Silence love
Until some someday;
Nor word not light a
Desperate glum day
As we await
Your Mothering Sunday.
TO OUR BIG SISTER: HAPPY GRADUATION
To our big sister: Happy Graduation!
Our guide and model, mentor, hero, friend;
Older, wiser, yet of our generation,
Understanding well the wayward wind.
Rejoice, then, in this moment of transition:
Becoming us no longer, moving on
Into adulthood, a sensitive condition,
Given that your childhood is gone.
Still may you be for us the pioneer.
In you we see ourselves as we will be,
Singing down the hallways year by year,
Taking care there’ll always be a “we.”
Even as you lead, clear-eyed or blind,
Remember that we’re following behind.
I’M FAR TOO SHY TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU
I’m far too shy to tell you that I love you.
You’re a star far from my plain earth.
I gaze and see no woman who’s above you:
To me you are the cynosure of worth.
Yet with all your beauty you’re a person
Like me in need of Sympathy and love.
Your thoughts of me would not, I dare hope, worsen
If I in some way tried your heart to move.
There’s pleasure, surely, drawn from the reflection
That someone, somewhere, worships your sweet face,
Thinks you are the summit of perfection,
Wants nothing more of life than your embrace.
The danger is you’ll think it couldn’t be;
So I suggest you see yourself through me.
I KNOW WE SOMETIMES ARGUE
I know we sometimes argue, and
I sometimes blow my lid.
But I still love you very much:
I’m only just a kid.
Sometimes I need to push against
The fences you erect,
Even though I know they’re there
To shelter and protect.
I know you want the best for me
And to keep me from all harm.
I just want you to know I couldn’t
Have a better mom.
BELIEVE, BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF LOVE
Believe, believe in the power of love
To save us all from Death and sin,
And God that way your heart will move.
Christ came to Earth to free us of
The state of vengeance we were in.
Believe, believe in the power of love
To change the heart from snake to dove,
To make dust bloom and goodness win,
And God that way your heart will move.
Christ arose from death to prove
That we a new life could begin.
Believe, believe in the power of love
To bring us to a life above,
A life of glory near to Him,
And God that way your heart will move.
Christ will all our sins remove
And make us feel His joy within.
Believe, believe in the power of love,
And God that way your heart will move.
HOW BEST CAN WE REMEMBER WE WERE SLAVES
How best can we remember we were slaves?
After all, it’s been three thousand years.
Perhaps in time the ceremony paves
Pleasingly the terrace of our tears.
Yet it happened once, this morning myth,
Past the open window of the wound,
And again, and yet again, the truth
Still streaming from the altars of the doomed.
So must we be the slaves of our own time,
Our holocaust the holocaust of all,
Victorious only when the ancient crime
Exists alone as ritual and rhyme,
Remnants of a myth beyond recall.
TO MY LOVED ONE ON HIS DAY
To my loved one on his day:
Over you may sunshine reign.
May the west wind weary wane,
Yielding to your right-of-way!
Let me let you see your smile
On all the mirrors of your face,
Vying for the favored place,
Each singing praises all the while!
Dearest one, for whom I long,
On whose sweet love I so depend,
Now bear the burden I would send:
Each word of wonder in my song!
