Glowed with pride at our very existence
Juggled it all seemingly flawlessly
Inspired us with their natural beauty
Loved our kids as much as they loved us
Were overjoyed to call us theirs
Taught us how to be proud of who we are
Helped us reach new heights
Bathed us in love and soap
Celebrated our biggest moments with us
Gave us more of ourselves that we might realize
Taught us the beauty of a smile
Kissed away our grumpy faces
Carried us with perfect grace
Surprised us
Were strong when life threw them a curveball
Taught us how to be beautiful inside & out
Helped us fly
and most importantly held us close in their arms- protecting, caring, nurturing and loving
To the mothers I am proud to call friends & family
and
To the mothers who I will never meet
Happy Mothers Day
