Voice of the Child


2019 Mother's Day Tribute 



(Dedication: For my grandmother, my mother, my aunts, my sisters)



So many things of motherhood

I'll never understand,

like how you can achieve so much 
without a magic wand;

or simply where you find the time
to get all you do done.
You cook and clean and go to work
you're truly Super Mom!



I rarely ever stop to think 
how hard it is for you
that ever time I make a mess 
I give you more to do;

and even when you have to yell
or spank or give the look,
it's clear that all your love for me
is not remotely shook.


It's undeniable for sure
that mom's are far unique.
Imbued with only God knows what
keeps them from seeming weak.


More than your womb, you gave your heart
to house and nurture me.
How sacrificially to live
and give yourself for free.

Sooo many things of motherhood
my mind can never reach.
Bits only walking in those steps,
experience will teach.
