Written In Love

"God could not be everywhere and therefor he made mothers."-Ali Gay


Motherhood calling
Saving your place
Always caring
Keeping us safe
Little children
Each in your care
Throwing away yourself
To be there
*
Iconic lessons
To me you would send
Teach me now
To learn from them
Oldest girl
Leader of fun
This was my calling
Sense day one.
*
Mother, grandmother
Loved by all
Written in messages
I have left on your wall
Forgiving deeds
Taken so lightly
What would cause the fighting
*
Fountain of knowledge
I can never replace
I long for those days
Life was simple
We were so sure
Having you here
Wasn’t a chore.
*
Protecting us 8
As a bear for her cubs
Standing your ground
When push came to shove
Throwing yourself
To keep every one of us
*
Brothers are older
Sisters are young
Life’s greatest lessons
Teach us as one
Beautiful savior
You saved me from there
*
Motherhood calling
Saving your place
Always caring
Keeping us safe
Little children
Each in your care
Throwing away yourself
To be there
*
Iconic lessons
To me you would send
Teach me now
To learn from them
Oldest girl
Leader of fun
This was my calling
Sense day one.

Written for my mom. Mother's day is close and though we live miles apart I wanted to give her something that came straight from my heart. I love you mom.
