A Mother's Day Musing
by Joy Renee
Have you ever noticed,
while flipping the pages
in a family photo album,
how often
mothers seem to not be
in the picture?
Even though we all know,
if we consider for just
one moment,
that every breath

every bite
every step

and every bright
smile

depends on her
involvement.
Maybe it's because
she was the one
taking the picture
or so busy making
stuff happen
or just
making stuff--
from matching outfits

matching eyes.
There needs to be,
don't you agree,
more than one day
each year when
the one who makes
it all happen,
who makes home
feel like home,
who frames all the pictures
of our earliest
memories,
is given her rightful
place
right in the middle
of the picture?
