Blessing the Boats

By Lucille Clifton

may the tide

that is entering even now

the lip of our understanding

carry you out

beyond the face of fear

may you kiss

the wind then turn from it

certain that it will

love your back

may you

open your eyes to water

water waving forever

and may you in your innocence

sail through this to that

Once again, I would like to wish ALL Mothers a very special Mother’s day this Sunday. May we also take the time to remember the Mothers that have passed and may their memories live on in our hearts forever.
