I remember
the moment of enlightenment
the moment
I first realized
Mom was also
a woman
Just like me
Learning
Growing
Doing the best she can
making the best decisions
she knows how
A child herself
raising children
showing them love
giving them confidence
teaching them faith
believing in their dreams
A woman herself
who laughs and cries
sometimes insecure and unsure
with hopes and dreams
beliefs about life
and all that it’s meant to be
Just like me
Know My Worth 
I remember that moment also, with all three of my moms. It opened my mind and healed some of the cracks in my heart, taught me empathy and compassion.
Happy Mothers Day.

I remember having this epiphany. It’s sweet to revisit it now, and to visit it through these words both apt and lovely.
