Being a Mother...

Being a mother
changes your life in an instant without an option
changes your priorities from day one
changes your perspective with little effort


Being a mother
means making sacrifices without it being so
means being devoted without giving it a second thought
means unconditional love without any promises or guarantees

Being a mother
rewards you with watching them take their first step
rewards you with hearing their first words
rewards you with
a twinkle in their eyes they have only for you

Being a mother
makes you a teacher with lessons because of love
makes you a nurturer with the love in your heart
makes you a giver with open arms and a heartfelt smile

Being a mother
lets you have a little hand to hold as you guide them thru life
lets you have the joy of their smile as you watch them grow
lets you have
the special moments as they run to you with glee

Being a mother
gives you a smile on your face that lights up the room
gives you a little one on your lap that fills you with delight
gives you a full heart that touches the deepest part of your soul

Being a mother
blesses you with sweet kisses that tug at your heart
blesses you with heartfelt hugs tight as they can be
blesses you with unsolicited "I love you's" that melt your heart

Being a mother is a gift like no other...
