Motherhood

 

 

Black Rose - the youngest family member that year.

 

'Motherhood is about accepting the limitations

of time and energy, which stretch beyond you.

Even though sometimes it feels they could consume you. 

 

Search for and hold onto your true self.

If you lose that, what kind of mother can you be?

 

Things are always changing, no matter how

much we might want them to remain the same. 

 

 

You could take a photo of your kids every

single day,

and every single day they would just be growing older.

That's a fact.

A heartbreaking fact, but still a fact.

 

 

 

So, seize the days and dwell in them fully.

Look to your children for they know

how to inhabit brief moments of

extreme passion.

And for nothing more really than the sake of those moments.

They can help us remember that,

if only we would slow down and let them'.

 

Soon enough they will have Graduated,

gone off to University, gotten married, and

moved far enough from home that we don't

see them nearly as often as we would like.

Sometimes one can live just up

the street,

and still we can't see enough of them.

 how blessed I am.  

God is good.
