To all the single parents on Mother's Day

Okay, I know this is late, but that the way it is sometimes.

I just wanted to let you know
that tonight
and every night
I think about you and your little kiddos,
knowing that you're making it through
what is the toughest job
ever thrust upon a human being:
to be a parent alone;
to watch over,
care for,
provide for,
sing to,
read to,
wash up,
pick up after,
hug much,
tuck into bed each night
the most precious of all creation.

Good on you tonight, Mom.
Good on you tonight, Pop.

There are no angels greater than you.
