Your Deserving Son

 Those Jewish mothers, so invested

in the welfare of their children,

shuddering with dread should some

untoward event occur to impinge on

the well-being of their own whose

future and contented satisfaction

with life is paramount....  And sometimes

fortune is kind, the son is a scholar of

rare dimensions, his writing superbly 

academic graced with humour, adept

in the arts as well as the humanities

and the physics of heavenly existence, 

an historian, astronomer, artist, musician,

writer; the heart soars with pride.  And

his wife, a paragon of every womanly

and scholarly virtue.  She too, gifted 

in a myriad of ways; best of all, she

who is an ordained Anglican priest

deeply loves your deserving son.
