Mother's Day has come and gone.
A day for Mothers to enjoy with their family,
They have raised and nourished;
That brought their children to be
The good men and women they turned out to be.
Both sons, daughters, and grandchildren,
Have grown into the men and women,
that I am proud of.

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 10. This year celebrating Mom's day with her and the rest of the family is a little more difficult. Difficult is not impossible; however, it does take a little more planning. If Mom isn't sheltering in place with some of her children, a phone call or a Zoom meeting is probably in order.
Send Mom a Mother's Day card. If Mom has a computer or a smartphone, perhaps two Mother's Day cards would be in order. One through snail mail and the other online. If taking Mom out to eat on Mother's Day, how about having a meal delivered to her. If you can coordinate the meal delivery and the video chat, Mom can have her Mother's Day meal while talking to her children and grandchildren.
This year we have to be a little more creative with our Mother's Day celebrations in order to protect both Mom and ourselves. If we are careful and creative we can make Mother's Day special while practicing social distancing and protecting Mom. How are you going to celebrate Mother's Day?
My mother passed on in 2012, so I will be saying a special prayer for her. I will also read some of her poems and add more of her poems to "My Mother's Poems" .

Excerpt: The crowds were everywhere as I ventured forth that day,
The streets crowded and busy, many going their own way,
Then I heard a voice speaking above all the noise,
Words of truth mixed with faith, telling of the One True God.
Excerpt: In this dark forsaken world,
I search for You.
Listening to the sounds surrounding me,
I search for Thee.

Excerpt: When the wind rustles in the evening
When the thunder roars in the storm
When a child laughs in its happiness
When the dove coos in the morn
I hear your voice.
Excerpt: Less than dust,
I scrape, scratch,
grub for something to fill
more than stomach
more than a day.

These Biblical characters went through so much but it was their faith and trust in God that brought them through. I am finding, and I know I am not the only one, that when you go through a trial like this one, it makes you stronger. You find out how strong and brave you are when you trust in Him. (Wonderful piece!)
