The Answer.
Karen Shaw Matteson

I woke today to a world so cold
At least it seemed so to me
The headlines screamed of hate and war
And deep moral poverty

I sighed and felt a sudden chill
That wrapped around my heart
What difference could I possibly make
In a world that's falling apart?

I don't have wealth or status to make
A change that would matter at all
So I drank my tea and whispered a prayer
To the One who hears when I call

A heavy heart has no wings to fly
He whispered to me tenderly
And all that's wrong will be made right
In the course of eternity

There are pleasures so fleeting
And revenge without thought
Leaving hearts that are broken
Values shattered and lost

I closed my eyes and wondered aloud
Why this pattern could not be reversed
What is the solution to this turmoil I see
Which seems to be just getting worse?

In a flash the answer was clear and I smiled
My heart remembered what my mind had forgot
In my search for solutions to all that is wrong
It was solved in this simple thought

Let the battles rage on as they certainly will
And the mighty strike hard from above
But nothing will defeat the force and the power
Of this one word that shines on called love

A warm breeze so gentle ruffled my hair
Melting my heart in a flash
A heavenly touch that meant so much
Oh the power of love has no match!

Have a great week. :-)

MOTHER'S DAY
Del Abe Jones

There were some different beginnings
To what we know as, Mother s Day
One woman, Anna Reeves Jarvis
Mothers Work Day Clubs , her way.

They focused on sanitary conditions
And provided medicines for the poor
They promised to care for all Soldiers
From both sides in the Civil War.

After that War that had divided
The new-found peace would take her
To healing families and friends
And she became a real peacemaker.

Then, in the Eighteen seventies
Something we could sure use now
Mothers Peace Day was started
By, Julia Ward Howe.

A famous woman of the time
Reformer, lecturer, and writer of note
The Battle Hymn Of The Republic
Is something that she wrote.

A woman suffrage association
Voted her their first President
And hers, the first suggestion
To have a Mother s Day event.

Then there was Frank Hering
In the year Nineteen ought-four
Of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles
Who claimed to open the door.

In Nineteen fourteen Woodrow Wilson
Recommending a Federal Mother's Day
Signed a joint resolution
That we now observe each year in May.

No matter who takes the credit
It was a long time overdue
To honor all those Ladies
Who gave life to me and you.

So, those who still have theirs
Should remember those times passed
And thank Her now for all those things
She s done for you in the past.

For those whose Mom is gone
It s a time to reflect and say,
Mom, I love and miss you,
On this, and every other day.

Our Mothers shape our being
And have an endless wealth to give
And She will be a part of us
For as long as we may live.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. :-)
