I spent a Covid night
Just cleaning everything in sight
Sun rose to have her say
Hadn't cleaned much dust away
Despite the turning off of Macs
Some data leaked in through the cracks
To say today was 2020's Mother's Day
And so I walked around and this is what I found
Shiny things when left alone can weigh down the family home
You wanted order for my world
I hope you see how that unfurled
On Mother's Day, I won't put anything away
I wondered how I might
Put all the mess of life to right
Did you know in your soul
You could relinquish that control?
To shield from all that can detract
Still messy life slips through the cracks
To have its say on 2020's Mother's Day
And so I walked around and this is what I found
Order plays its part but won't clean up a messy heart
You didn't have it in your own
And cluttered up our family home
This Mother's Day, I won't put anything away
I guess when push it comes to shove
We do such messy things for love
On Mother's Day, I don't put anything away
