Mothers teach us how to be ...

/ The Grove Counselling/

Thinking of the generations of mothers... past, present and future... on this mother's day ....

buttered toast and clothes warmed by the fire on a winter’s morning

the pain of adolescence felt

the posy of flowers at my bedside as I nurse a broken heart

long distance phone calls to share news of adventures

overwhelming love for my precious newborn

exhaustion at the mindless mess of toys and washing

unspoken pain at the taunts you feel

superhuman strength as I reach to protect you

forgiveness for the harsh words in rage

confusion at what you ask of me

acceptance of who you are becoming

laughter in those silly moments of dancing after dinner

tears of grief as you walk out the door to meet the world

growth and re-discovery as the house quietens

laughter and adventure with my love

caring for those who cared for me

greying hair

quiet nights

cups of tea

mothers teach us how to be

 

Wishing everyone a happy mother's day...
