Motherhood

Behind the voice of motherhood

A million strong of precious good

The most amazing group to walk this earth

Endowing life, the gift of birth.

Blessed are they, to carry such power

A fierceness that only a mom can endower

From newborns to toddlers, teens and beyond

Their wings stretch with them, an iridescent bond.

No matter how tough the road is to travel

They power through with their children as their lives unravel

The bumps and the potholes and the trials of life

They twist and they turn with all their might.

And just when they feel they can't give anymore

The underlying worry and fret underscored

The nerves and fraught slowly assuage

As the universe understands this gracious stage.

Sons and daughters now on their own

A song, a sonnet, a sacred poem

Yours forever, your love, your brood

In this miraculous journey called Motherhood.
