Mother Is Alright

Mother Is Alright

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

To congregate to concentrate

"

Mother Is Alright


Mother is alright she's mother

Every other mother dreams of sleep

Left to be completed on the other side

By mothers touch within itself if not in sight


The moon comes sooner than the afternoon or sooner

Is far away and stays that way when other mothers come

To congregate, concentrate on being who they are

Mothers stand together close to falling off


They dare not go too deep too far into the water

The cliff is near to stop them from a dive

To halt the march or thought of wondering

It is alright to be a mother and no more


Even when it's not

Mother is alright

Is she not

reads rather like a riddle to me ...hmmmmmmmm going to take a read or two more at different times of the day ... mothers do band together no doubt about it...me Mum knew things i did that only a few close friends knew about..i am sure it is the gathering of Mothers that give them that power .. and yes! me Mum is way alright :)))
