Happy Mother's Day - Three Haiku Poems

Purple/Pink Zinnia by Phyllis Wheeler

Happiest Mother's Day wishes, dear friends! I hope you enjoy these little haiku poems I wrote in honor of mothers everywhere.

I praise God for the great mothers in my life, my own beloved Mom, Mother-in-law, Grandmother, Grandma, Great Grandmas, Sisters in Law and Sisters of the Heart. They show love and grace in so many ways and I love them dearly. I miss those who've gone on to be with the Lord but they have left their wonderful legacy of love on my heart and in my life and I am thankful for the time I did have with them.

Mother's Day Haiku I

A mother's love is

our strongest earthly bond and

no one loves us more.

Mother's Day Haiku II

God, please bless my Mom

even more abundantly

than she has blessed me.

Mother's Day Haiku III

Thank you, dear mother,

for all your sacrifices

and boundless, deep love.

May God bless you and the mothers in your life and may He comfort those for whom Mother's Day is a painful time.

Mother's Day Wishes

I won't be online tomorrow due to my ongoing unplugged Sundays experiment so on this Mother's Day eve I'm wishing abundant joy to every mother in the world and especially to my own dear Mom, Grandmother, Mother in Law, Sisters in Law and the motherly friends in my life (you know who you are and I love you)! May your Mother's Day be filled with blessings and may your children rise up and call you blessed. May you see the love you've showered upon your child/ren reflected in their eyes and actions and may God bless your parenting today and always.
 
Tonight and tomorrow I'll also be praying for all of you for whom Mother's day is painful, whether you have suffered from infertility, death of a child, mother, someone else dear to you or some other personal pain. May the God of all peace be with you and comfort you in this difficult time.
