Mother's Day Note

...to all those women who do their very best

day in and day out;

who struggle to keep their independence

while nursing the fickle wants and needs

of their loved ones;

who have bled their heart and soul

for the growth of their hopelessly ungrateful

and often unsympathetic offspring;

and who, without a moment of hesitancy

would give their very last breath

for those same ungrateful fools...

to all of you beautiful and selfless goddesses and queens

we say thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you a gazillion times,

to infinity.

And most importantly of all, a big public Thank you

to the most selfless goddess of them all,

my mother, Virginia.

I love you Ma. You rock.

Happy Mother's Day.
