blessed mothers day to all~

“A mother

 is the truest friend we have,

 when trials heavy and sudden,

 fall upon us;

 when adversity takes the place of prosperity;

when friends who rejoice with us

 in our sunshine desert us;

 when trouble thickens around us,

still will she cling to us,

and endeavor by her kind precepts

and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness,

and cause peace to return to our hearts.”

Washington Irving

it wasn't until i became pregnant with my first

that life started flashing before me

all that i had done

all that i had said

all that i had believed

was soon the past

who i was becoming

 was changing

and changing for the better

i was evolving into a new phase of life

that slowly wrapped itself around me

wings were given to me

and helped guide me into the new place

i was entering

never did i imagine

 the transformation one would go through

mentally and physically

nothing else matter no longer

all the pety little things in life

 we get so easily caught up in

was all to soon benign

what matter

was the little child that was growing inside

i was the one

who was going to have to care and nuture

teach and listen

l♥ve above and beyond

what i felt my heart could give

amazing our heart

how big

how full

amazing a gift of a child

and what they bring forth

realizing our heart

 is far wider and bigger than we could ever imagine

and that l♥ve...remains

a constant

when all else seems to be failing

that l♥ve is with us

i look at mothers day

not just as a day

 to celebrate our mothers,

or those in our lives who are mothers

but each and every woman

each woman

who has ever stepped in and helped care

helped nutured

when a mother needed such

i look back at times i had help

my sister...who is not a mother

but who has always stepped up

and acted as one when i needed her too

my friends...who have bared no children

there to play and listen, help care for mine

to me in every woman

lies a mother

to me it doesn't matter if they have their own

each woman in our life

when times are good or bad

is there too be

when we need them

so to each of you

 i wish you a day filled with l♥ve

joyful moments

rest and relaxation

as this is just one day!

moments to reflect upon

your own lives with your mother

grandmother

inlaw

aunt, cousin or friend

and honor eachother

in the most beautiful ways
