(Editor's Note: On May 10, we will celebrate Mother's Day. These poems from DeAnna Quietwater Noriega state so well many of our memories of our mothers, we decided to include them here. We hope you enjoy them as much as we have.)
MOTHERS
You can make her feel sad,
Or fill her heart with pride.
When you do something bad,
She will stand at your side.
When you go far away,
Taking off on your own,
A card on Mother's Day,
Pick up the telephone.
For all the care she gave,
For all her toil and tears,
One day a year we save,
For all her loving years.
-- DeAnna Quietwater Noriega
