Tomorrow is Mother's Day, a day to celebrate mothers! Usually that means giving mom the "day off" where she can kick up her feet and relax. However, she usually ends up having to clean and scrub the mess in the kitchen made by dad and the kids after they make her breakfast in bed! That's the theme of Emmett Lee Dickinson's now-classic Mother's Day poem, "The Work for Her that's come" (below on the left). Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "The Work of Her that went" (below on the right).
| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: The Work for Her that’s come, The Toil that Follows fun – In Ovens grimed my Mother cleans, The Messes of the Son. | By Emily Dickinson: The Work of Her that went, The Toil of Fellows done -- In Ovens green our Mother bakes, By Fires of the Sun. |
