"For Mothers' Day"
His quip to her (he counseled on)
“Make me a list – just play along –
Of what is great about your spouse”
“I can’t – my husband’s just a louse.”“I know one fact you can’t deny –
In doing so you’d tell a lie!”
“What’s that?” She asked in skeptic’s way;
“Great taste in chicks he’s got”, you’d say.We laughed, and in his words I heard,
That’s true! In that I now observe
Us Harvey men have that all right –
“Great taste in chicks – that’s locked up tight”.“Far better than what we deserve”,
Mentor said once, “for I observe,
The deal is skewed on our behalf –
And in that fact, at selves we laugh.“How could she marry him?” One asked,
“Are women blind? The choice is vast,
And that’s the best that she can do –
Den mother to twelve kids in shoe?”I don’t know why life works that way,
But on that subject I just say,
“Lord, thank You for Your ways with men,
That better-halves to them You send.”Thanks Lord for this.
