Mothering continues
as long as child and mom
share this earth.
Nor should it be any different.
For if taken from me,
a vast hole in my heart
would not easily mend.
Should any mom go missing,
another often fills the gap
with the same love and learning.
Their name may not be ‘mom’
but their heart is called ‘mom.
And with all the growing
from birth into toddlers years,
pre-teens,
adolescence,
young adulthood and onward
child~parent blossoms through
joys and sorrows;
health or sickness.
For each mom who grows
alongside her child,
another mom will be born
in another day or time
to learn the ways of being.
“Motherhood is hard enough without judgement
from others who don’t know the whole story.”
~ Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost
