The Greatest Gift

Bouquet gift of J.Davis, photograph by J.Davis

My Mom loved pink.
Whenever she birthed another child
(There are eight of us),
Dad brought her pink roses.
I miss her often but
Mother’s Day most of all.
You only get one Mom.
Lucky I had the one
I had. Mom knew how
To love. It was her
Greatest gift.
