Mommas
.
.
from the moment
she conceives
mom carries her child
in a way
no one else
could possibly match
something about
that maternal bond
through the years
every day
she will always be mom
like a lion
when need be
she will fight to protect
yet gives love
at the times
children least expect
from this dad’s view
it’s a magical thing
far beyond my ability
to grasp
for what mothers convey
let’s pause on this day
sending love momma’s way
mom means the most
to those she gave birth
there is no formula to measure
how much that is worth

Chances
.
.
looking back
through years of chances
meaningless
missed chances
to choose
a different response
than the one
that determined an outcome
like an artist
creating a view
laughing tearfully
causing a sigh
pausing to realize
the vision
keeps fading in and out
blurring
evading capture
circling
beyond the lines
waiting
patiently
in queue
