Ode to Moms

To the mom
Who
Is crying 
All alone
In
Her own space

I hear you
I feel you

To the mom
Who 
Feels life
Is overwhelming
Wishing
You had a clone

It’s okay
For I know
How hard
You
Are trying

To the mom
Who
Carries burdens
Carries grief

Remember 
The seeds
You have sewn

To the mom
Who
Makes sacrifices
To better the life
Of 
Her children
Her spouse
Family 
Community members
Friends

Your efforts have shown

To the mom
Who
Shows up
Is present
Living life
Without complaints

I commend you
I am proud of you
For 
Being courageous
Being strong
Being brave
Standing up
For what’s right
For what you believe in
To
Make the world
Many lives
A better place

Your heart
Your soul
A precious
Gemstone

Hello and welcome, I am so glad we have crossed paths! It’s no accident you are here! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read. As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world. For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself. I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets. Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose. I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
