MOMS

 

Off to the side a moment

after our birth – our mother steps back.

But if we looked at a mother’s face

at that time – we’d see the joy

Jesus talked about when

a new kid has come into the world?

Who doesn’t stop to wiggle

their fingers at a new born baby’s eyes?

The kid – we haven’t had the time yet

to mess up – so we all celebrate a baby –

but moms are with us forever -

always looking at their kids – hoping -

in the forever after that - no matter what.
