Labor Pains

A mother raising her kids!

 

When women have their babies

labor pains they must go through,

they have to breathe in and breathe out!

 

Once their babies are born their

is sweet relief, but little did they

know their labor pains has just begun

mother's have to breathe in and breathe out!

 

Mother's nurture and care for their children

hoping they will go walk the right path to adulthood,

but sometimes they go astray

mother's have to breathe in and breathe out!

 

Once their children leave the nest

mother's pray that their children will try

to do their best in life, but mistakes are made

mother's have to breathe in and breathe out!

 

When their children marry mother's cry

with happiness, and when their children start

to have babies of their own

mother's breathe in and breathe out!

 

Each mother sighs with relief,

knowing that their labor pains is lessened,

but little does their children know

that their labor pains is just begun

now they must learn to breathe in and breathe out! 

 

 

Author's Note

I work with children, but do not have any of my own! This is just what I think!

Enjoyable little tribute to motherhood.. I have often thought of my mother as a saint.. she is my rock, my pillar, my guide.. even now, after being married for over 18yrs.. I look to my mother's wisdom, her example as I struggled rearing my own children.. Thank You Mom.. and thank you, for reminding me, what a gift we really have in them.

Very, very good theme - I don't have kids either, but this certainly is the experience of my friends and relatives...

I can see you're getting better and better with each write!

Very well said, my friend.It is neither a job, nor a career, more than instinct or habit, a mother is an existence.

[Dream Weaver]

A beautiful analogy of mother
and child and the
bond between.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

beautifully expressed~ once a mother always a mother~ that umbilicus never really gets cut~ exists forever between heart of child and mother~

[Stef Outsiders]

[Deviant Works]

I also don't have any children yet I work with them seven days a week. From the outside looking in this poem is what I see and could not be more right. I am one of eight children. My mother, the poor thing, is constantly breathing in and out.:) I should let her read this so she knows I am not the only one who feels sorry for her.:) Wonderful poem with a great message.
