Mother’s Day 1974

I’ve got an amazing wife,

who helps me laugh and cry and sing.

I never feel alone,

When we share everything.

*****

She’s given me the most precious gifts

a wife could ever give,

A little girl, a baby boy,

A reason for me to live.

******

The pain that I go through

cannot hurt as deep,

when you see your little ones

laughing in their sleep.

********

Or when you see your son,

living from her breast,

or crying out so he can have,

a little bit more rest.

*******

But everything’s s naturally right

when you are young and gay,

even a simple smile will help

to make a tired Mother’s Day.
