“Everyday is Mother’s Day”

She is different things to different people;

A simple friend to me;

Her emotions are based on blood;

Just not her own;

For her, life has three purposes;

Two beautiful daughters and her Drew;

Their safety, their love, their happiness;

That is what matters in her world;

After all, for her, everyday is Mother’s Day.
