Because

For my children, Courtney, Alex, Collin, Emily and Molly who allowed me to experience the gift of motherhood five times in my life…and who continue to fill my life with love each day. Happy Mother’s Day to all mom’s here on The Den.

 

On a snowy winter morning

Nearly thirty years ago,

The

Gift of love had been declared

to me by a child –

Completely and unconditionally –

For no other reason than –

Because.

Dawn... How lovingly delightful this reads to me! It must be a great feeling to give birth and exchange love with FIVE children!

I have never known that thrill and rewards of motherhood, but I've helped out three times. It's pretty special from here, too.

A magnificent Mothers Day to you and all those who did it well over the years! - Papa Bill

Dawn - Loved the reversal of parents answering a child's question with, "Because." Made the poem even more quietly powerful. - David
