Editor’s note: We recently asked our contributing writers to create Haikus related to Mother’s Day. Here are some of the poems.
Hard being a mother
When your child is far away
Hug them in your heart
— Neal Raisman
An angel you are
A bright light among the stars
And for you, I weep
— Marilyn Burns
Forever your mom,
Your life, my gift every day.
Our bond will not break.
— Maria Malin
Temporarily
Here to learn about loving
All impermanence
— Marguerite O’Connor
Wind carries her son’s voice
through wind chimes tinkling in the breeze
He’s here, she says. Listen
— Susan Casey
