Moms

What a gift it is
to be a mom.
Whether it is biological,
adoptive,
stand-in,
step-up,
fur baby,
whatever.
It is a strength
that lives in your very core
that is so transparent
it sometimes hurts,
but is always rewarding.
It is worry and relief.
It is consoling and cheering.
It is setting boundaries
and pushing envelopes.
It is standing firm and giving in.
It is lecturing and listening.
It is waiting to catch
while watching them fly.
It is an extraordinary gift.
Enjoy. Every. Second.
Happy Mother's Day!
