This is a wonderful poem that touched me deeply. This was the real meaning of Mother's Day. As with so many other things, Mother's Day has been stolen by the commercial trade, and nothing remains of the original intent. We women should gather together for a congress(women from all nations) and denounce war. We should tell those who start wars that we will no longer allow our sons and daughters to be used in the destruction of innocent women and children, and to be sent home in body bags or with wounds so devastating and minds so destroyed that they can never be restored. The final indignity is to be denied health care so that they have a chance to stabelize. This lack of care for our vets is a national disgrace, but what can you expect from a bunch of liars.
