On Mother and Father's Day

The husband asked, "When is Mother's Day?" I said, Everyday! M is for makeover. We don't always get it right the first time O is for older souls fertile with love as mother T is for tenderness we teach each other H is for hope that the pupil in us stays humble E is for endless love that resurface and make us renewed R is for righteous thoughts that fuel acts of faith. The Wife asked, "When is Father's Day?" I said, Everyday! F is for faith in the Almighty who leads the way A is for another brother with enough love as father T is for tender sternness that outweighs callousness H is for the height and measure of a man of God E is for endless love that redeems a man and his home R is for reflections that fuel change within and out.
