Speaking of mothers

Speaking of Mothers….
Mothers – mix, mould, make, mend.
Oh! – One’s only! Our orderly organiser;
Tentive, tender, true. Trusted, too!
Hopes high – happy, home hosting!
Educators: Ever, earnestly encouraging.
Reliable regulators, regarding ‘right’ rules, ruel!
Smiling, sports supporters, selectively striving – ‘screens screw!’
Day?….. dedication, All year – through!
Mums moderation, motivation, meditation, … merits mothering!

Eunice Marsden,
Stanthorpe
