Being a mother means
You smile through your tears and you cry and tenderly sigh
You shop, clean and cook and you shout, hug and ask why
Being a mother means
You learn to take baby steps and you discover words that are new
You read fables and tales and teach life's lessons that are true
Being a mother means
You encourage and work hard and you listen carefully and give advice
You attend all school programs and celebrate child's success twice
Being a mother means
You learn to forgive and forget and you try to mend broken heart
You feel the same joy and pain and teach right things from the start
Being a mother means
You always have time to talk and give them love, kisses and smiles
You tell them they are special and have made each day worthwhile
This is what it really means to be a Mother my dear
You feel very special and blessed with God's tender care.
"Being a mother is an amazing and a spiritual journey of unconditional love, enduring strength, and lots of responsibilities. It teaches you to ride the waves, paddle your canoe and embrace the ebb and flow of life and accept the challenges of blessed motherhood" .
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers.
