Motherhoodnot a simple task,
although there are many,
but an art form of caring.
never a simple task
as children grow
but an art form of letting go - and always caring.
carries babies and responsibilities ~
handbook not provided ~
aunties, grandmothers, neighbours and moms carry the lessons.
takes temperatures and washes dirty faces
listens to long winding stories
life preparations each step of the way.
is an exercise in gratitude
to sons and daughters for
all they have been, are and will be.
“Being a mother is an attitude, not a biological relation.”
~ Robert A. Heinlein
