Wanted: Mothers

We are hiring mothers, and we need them right away!
You must be filled with peace and joy and vow that
you will stay.
You must appreciate a flower when it's given without a stem
Marvel at an ugly rock as if it were a gem.
You must possess a wealth of love, be wise, controlled, alert.
Have management ability and make a good dessert.
Expertise in finance and a flair for decorating.
Knowledge of psychiatry and Band-aid applicating.
Willing to accommodate pet relationships.
Detective skills in cases like the missing chocolate chips.
Qualified and competent in diplomatic circles, adolescent counseling,
in short -- performing miracles.
Adept in kissing bruises and using rocking chairs.
Capable of handling community affairs.
A magician in the kitchen with a pound of hamburger.
An ability to touch a cheek and know its temperature.
If you think that you can qualify and you've had experience
And you understand completely that you make the difference
Between a world that's filled with fear and a world
that's full of joy.
Call us now, we want you to be in our employ.

Hope that all you have a very wonderful Mother's Day.

This is the poem that Ryan's teacher read to us all at our Mother's Day Tea the other morning and I really wanted to share it. It made me smile as I was watching all the children serving their mom's banana bread and strawberries. It was great. I had a squirmy Jacob with me so I do not have a photo to post. Maybe next year.
