I wanted to write a poem for my moms

Because I can't see them today

I'll put it up on my Medium blog

In honor of Mother's Day

---

My mom, Lynn, or Lynnie to her friends

Is sweet as a mom can be

She's the only one I can tell everything

And hugs the best, believe me

---

If I couldn't be luckier to have a mom like Lynn

I have my stepmom Lisa too

She's witty and kind and loving and wise

And cracks me up every time

---

My boyfriend's mom Yolanda's in Guanajuato

So he sent love across distance too

Mother's Day was Thursday in Mexico

We'll see her to celebrate soon

---

Our loves for our moms, all of them

Honestly is what brought us together

We learned from them unconditional love

Is what we should strive to give to each other

---

We are lucky to have moms all around

Whose laughs and hugs keep us warm

Our neighbor Karoline, our friend Vivian,

My coworker Kate, and many more

---

I took a picture of a nice bouquet

From the farmer's market for this post

Pretty flowers always remind me

I should send them to all my moms more

---

It's the least I can do thank them for

All the love, patience, and cariño

Getting older I understand better

How much it is they really do

---

So hug your mom for me if you can

Or think of her if she's not there

Happy Mother's Day to every single one

And thanks for the love you share
