The Mother's Day card
strewn with stickers,
scrawled upon with
clenched fist strokes.
Pasted with glitter glue
and torn tissue paper.
Big bright red hearts,
crossed kisses and round hugs.
Excited presentation
of art
indiscernible
to all but the artist.
An elephant, duck, or tree
viewed with the eyes of faith.
The mismatched kisses
duly counted and received.
The glow of pride
as the masterpiece
is displayed for all to see.
Priceless treasure.
The tangible trophy
of a child's love.
The greatest of gifts.
The Mother's Day card.
