Happy Mother's Day

Little bits of fabric 
sewn together with care ~
one is rough and ready 
the other dainty and fair. 
Seams are sewn together
with love and tenderness ~ 
Mother's love surrounds them
with prayers and hugs caress. 
The love and care of Mother
leave footprints on the heart ~ 
of children that she nurtures 
until with wings depart. 
So many days and nights 
filled with love and care ~ 
one day released into the world 
she prays from her rocking chair.
