Where mothers could step up and say, "hey, you! Government! Get your hands off my kid! And your damn uniform, too!" Arise, then, women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, Whether our baptism be of water or of tears! We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs... You know, “Mother’s Day” started off as a political anti-war movement, right? Where mothers could step up and say, “hey, you! Government! Get your hands off my kid! And your damn uniform, too!”

Arise, then, women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts,
Whether our baptism be of water or of tears!

We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs…
