Step-mothers deserve a special day, too!


 

Step-Mothers Remembered

 

 

Mother's Day has come and gone

Great tributes made by one and all

Father’s Day is due up next

More tributes will be made for sure

But when, prey tell, is Step-Mother's Day?

Don’t they deserve some tribute too?

 

“Ah, yes,” you say

“You read about them

In tales from Cinderella,

Snow White, Hansel and Gretel

What more could be said?”

 

Lots more could be said

And say them I would

For step-mothers are special

But just not appreciated!

 

To step-mothers I say

Your inherited task

Is misunderstood by most

To take on a child not borne by you

Is such selfless sacrifice!

 

You should be praised

And praise you I do

For mother you are

In spite of the step!

 

May God Bless all step-mothers

May they be given

The respect they deserve

Husbands don’t be backward

In coming forward

To praise your new wife

When your children are near!

 

Let’s rally for a special Step-Mother’s Day!

Being a [step]mother, for over 20 years, I thank you, Lena. It is an honor and privilege to have done so; the rewards are endless...I am known as MOM2 to two, of five, + one "adopted" daughter and grandson!
Truly, it is The LORD Who puts families together...and Who also put such a beautiful heart into YOU. Now The LORD and God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, make His face to shine upon you, Miss Lena! You are lovely through-and-through, Precious Friend & Sister ...and you are loved, deeply, by myself and Jason. xoxo Rhonda/Mom2

This was so nice, I just say my stepmother today and I just adore her, closer than to my mother. I often tell her how happy I am that my father found her.
Love & Peace,
Rebecca

Great point, very-well put! Sentimentality long ago went over
the top re Mother's Day. For quite a number of people, it is
a step-parent that they want and need to pay homage to.
I know of cases -- and I am sure you do -- where a step-mother
{or -father} has saved a child who was mistreated by his or
her birth mother. . .or never knew her. Glad you posted this.

Wonderful Lena and you are so very right. We have been lucky that Mother's Day is also Step-Mother's Day in our family. But we would definitely support the move for Step-Mothers and Step-Fathers Day! A really great write!
