New Moon
Mother, You are new moon
Reveal your glorious face
Give us Mother-knowledge soon
A sliver here and there
That we may bear
The waxing of your light
Till we attain a fullness of your grace
To guide us through mortality’s night
Dayna Patterson is a mother of two. One of her Mother’s Day highlights is when all of the women were asked to stand during church to receive a gift. She stood and her husband reached over and rubbed her belly. No, she was not pregnant at the time, though rumors began to fly quickly thereafter. He is sleeping in the doghouse to this day.
