Last week I took out a children’s book of poetry from the library called Poetry For Mothers selected by Myra Cohn Livingston. I thought one of them especially adorable and I wanted to share it with anyone that stops by.

Mom is Wow!

By Julia Field

Mothers are finders and keepers

They are comforters of weepers

They are lullers-abye for sleepers

Mothers are good-manners makers

They are temperature takers

They are the best of birthday bakers

Mom is Wow!

Mothers are sick-bed sit besiders

They are hiding place providers

They are pin-the-tail guiders

Mothers are prayer makers in the nights

They are enders of quarrels and fights

They are teachers of duties and rights.

Mom is Wow!
