Mother Day Poems By Del Abe Jones
Military Moms

This year on Mother's Day

We should think of offspring lost

And Mothers of all those Troops

Who paid the ultimate cost.

They've watched Sons and Daughters

Sent off to a foreign land

To fight wars and give their all

In some conflicts so ill planned.

But no matter what the reasons

They've always stepped up to the line

To give their lives for Freedoms

Enjoyed by all of yours and mine.

We must Honor all those Mothers

Of all those who have Served

And Sacrifices that they made

With our, "Thanks!", so well deserved.

It takes a very Special Lady

To let Her Child go off to War

Or just to join the Military

With the pride and fear and more.

There's too many Gold Star Mothers

And if you might know of one

Please send Her a special wish

To praise Her Daughter or Son.

Military Moms are the Greatest

With a strength beyond compare

Who hope and pray their loved one

Comes Home safe, from over there.

So, let's keep them in our thoughts

And hope their prayers come true

All those Moms and all those Troops

Who stand Strong and Proud, and True.

Mother's Day

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.

Del "Abe" Jones
