One Thousand Words | Laveda D. Rockford

 

One Thousand Words

A hug can say one thousand words,

That one could not say,

A blessed greeting, a blessed yes,

A blessed time today.

 

A Mother’s arms wrapped around a child,

 whatever their age,

Can say much more than on a mind,

a loved hug today.

 

Without words a hug fulfils,

A much-needed way,

To tell a person a mixture of words,

In one single stay.

 

I could not imagine a day or time,

A hug could not reach,

The child, my child, with love in my heart,

And this hug will preach.

 

Hugging your child is an honor bestowed,

On this Mother’s Day,

Cherishing the memories of long ago,

A baby, who is formed to grow.

 

A hug can say one thousand words,

That one could not say,

A blessed greeting, a blessed yes,

A blessed time today.

 

If you, yes you, are reading this,

A Mother you did have,

For without a Mother,

Yes, a Mother, your life

would be drab.

 

On this Mother’s Day,

Let Mothers enjoy it their way.

Do not use this as a political play,

To endanger and stain this day.

Our Mothers should enjoy the right

To celebrate, wouldn’t you say?

 

So, Happy Mother’s Day from me,

To you with love, hugs, and kisses.

 

Let us celebrate our Mothers

As was the way when time before was made,

To be a day for Mothers only,

From a Mothers love today.
