MOTHERS ARE NATIONAL TREASURES

"I have eyes in the back of my head: My dear Mother used to say; A Mother knows and understands What a child does not even say/ A Mother's arms are made for tenderness Loving ears for compassionate care; Her dancing eyes are eager to observe What truly is happening there. Her grand heart is ever open All 24 hours of every day A Mother knows and understands What her child does not even say. Her wise advice follows her children All along life's bustling way; Understanding mothers are National Treasures May God Bless all our dear Mothers today. 2013 by Douglas Raymond Rose Member Academy of American Poets
