It's wonderful to see that the gift of writing runs in your family. I was touched by this beautiful piece your parents created together. I learned about the origin of Mother's Day and the history it carries. Thank you for sharing, Rick!

Hear warming Rick. I had no idea that Mother's day was started because of war! A very moving piece.

I am also touched that you're parents wrote this. They seem like very special people. Sending them a big hug from India.

I want to piggy back on what John Souza said below—you are such a reflection of your parents!

Wow. This was awesome! Now I see where you get some of your incredible writing ability.

This was about the most fun way I could imagine to learn about the history of Mother's Day (which I did not know! so interesting!).

Thanks for sharing Rick. Love the picture of Mom, Dad, and the pupper.

What a beautiful and informative poem. (And now I know the writing fruit doesn't fall far from the tree).

Please wish your mother (parents) on my behalf. They created a good one.

I loved that you shared this poem from your parents on Mother's day! What a beautiful gift and way to celebrate your mother. I also wasn't familiar with the history of Mother's day, so this was so interesting to read. Beautifully written as well, I can see where you get your writing skills from! Happy Mother's day to your mother!
