What is a Mother?

Click here What is a Mother?

A mother is a heart so full of love 
that comfort & tiredness disappear 
when her child comes  into her bed & lays in her arms in the middle of the night.

A mother is a 24-hour 7-day week commitment 
to selflessness & sacrifice, 
whose payment is far above money  
- a look, a touch, a hug or a smile.

She runs out of steam for moments, 
wanting time to stand still, so she can feel like she can fit it all in 
but she makes choices, to let go 
& her children are her priority

On rare occasions, there is sweet silence. 
Snippets of time alone, 
to think, to stop, to self-care & refresh 
so she is filled up ready for the next joyous adventure.

A Mother is a woman with hormones and feelings. 
It can be overwhelming & exhausting & relentless 
& so so busy just being….. and it's ok to fall in a blessed heap. 
Being real -there's no Superwoman, no super Mum, no perfect Mum. Just women, doing their best in each moment 
& that's all any of us can do.

It's a hard gig but it's so worthwhile. 
It's so important, probably the most important thing you'll ever do. Bringing up children with love. 
Paying attention, consciously, deliberately.
With values, discipline, encouragement & Hope. 
Fostering free spirits & Dreamers.

It's so busy right now but it goes by so fast 
& you'll really miss this time. 
Being a mother is an honour & a privilege
A responsibility to mould and shape our future.
I can't think of anyone better suited than you 
my Amazing, fantastic darling friend.
