Mother’s Day
by Kathryn KayFive days God worked
to make this world
the very best that He’d created–
and then He sat with brow all furled,
the whole thing seemed so complicated.
“I’ll have to have some help, somehow,
in passing on this life to others”–
The answer came. He smoothed His brow
and on the sixth day He made mothers,
and babies were. And life went on–
maternity was deep invested
in woman’s heart–God’s cares were gone–
and on the seventh day He rested.(With Tongue in Cheek © 1938, reprinted with permission)
