354. Mother's Day and Father's Day

Mother’s Day is great
    Because
At least once a year
Children allow their minds
To think of their mother’s heart
    And
Allow their hearts to house
And treasure their mother.

Father’s Day is great
    Because
At least once a year
Each father tells his children
That he really wants to equal the
Heavenly Father in Compassion and Concern.
