J's Mother's Day card, with this poem hand-written inside, was waiting for me when I woke up this morning:
Why We Have Mother's Day
Have you ever wished to be
Anywhere except with me?
Do you wish you'd take a chance
On a year-long trip to France?
Have you ever wished one day
That you could quit and walk away?
For some days there's just too much
Of things you need to do and such.
And it must drive you up the wall
When people say you've no work at all!
You might even want to pack and go
To places you don't even know.
So that is why we have this day,
To stop you from going away.
For if you did, I couldn't say...
Have a Happy Mother's Day!
