To my sons about motherhood:
It's the ultimate joy and the aching pain,
The warm sunshine and the cold rain,
The lifting up and the crashing down,
The sweetest smile and the inevitable frown,
The loving more than you thought you could,
The doubting yourself more than you should;
It's the liking and not liking what you see,
the being the person you did and did not think you would be,
the absolute yes and the very firm no,
the unexpected yet necessary ebb and flow;
It's the long days but short years,
the sometimes confident and the never-ending fears,
the becoming your own but changing so much,
the less time and more rush,
the constant reminders to give it all you got,
the I’m always here with you until I am suddenly not;
It's the saying less hellos and more goodbyes,
the occasional laughs and the late night cries,
the moving on to bigger and better things,
the watching the excitement when freedom rings;
It's the part of our lives that we hold dear,
the joy, the pain, the excitement, the fear,
the name we are given that we proudly display,
the words of endearment we embrace on Mother's Day;
It's the challenging journey we share until the end,
the I love you, I hate you, I am and I am not your friend.
the I need you more now than I will then,
the but you can count on me to be there no matter when,
the sincerely knowing you will always be my greatest joys,
the because you are forever my precious baby boys.
Happy Mother's Day!
