Happy Mother's Day, dear daughter! All my love to you! Praised be those who give themselves, Poised to part the sea! Years of loving need no quarter, Making passion do, Offering a trove of selves, Though vicariously. How beautiful the gift of giving Each the unspent whole, Returning, turning, like a tide, 'Ere the moment wanes! So beautiful, the act of living Densely through a soul Alight with wonder at the ride, Yet soon to take the reins!
