Happy Mother's Day

A couple of years ago I read this poem by Linda Ellis. I don't know much about her, but the poem fit my need for an all encompassing Mother's Day poem. I still find it a sweet poem and thought it would nice to share it with you.

"Who Else"


Also, I wrote a poem awhile back and I shared it here. I've reworked it a bit and want to offer it as my poetry offering for Mother's Day. This is my vision of motherhood.

BABY BOY


I am in another room

Yet, he touches me.
I feel his tiny warmth
Wrap solidly around my heart.
I melt, yet
He holds me up as
My soul gently soars

He cannot walk.
Yet, he lifts and carries me
Down the hall.
He Pulls me to him.
I wrap him in my arms
Lift him to my ear;
And his laughter fills me.


I want to wish you all a very happy mother's day. I hope your day is wrapped in love however it works for you to celebrate motherhood. We mothers are blessed to have the opportunity to share in God's work as we raise our little ones.

I won't be posting tomorrow. So, carry my wishes with you until Monday.
