The Chance of Motherhood

Mothers
Almost sacred 
A beautiful bouquet from Jeff and Jason - my sons
And yet human 
flawed and imperfect as the next guy
responsible to carry our children
for a lifetime
while we let go 
teach independence
encourage growth
support our children through  
all life’s chances and changes
until our children become
our supports
encouraging growth
supporting our independence
through life’s chances and changes
while learning about letting go.

“Children are the anchors that hold a mother to life.”
~ Sophocles
