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

Being a good person
loving and caring
Being a good teacher
guiding and imparting
Being a good partner
considerate and helpful
Being a good provider
feeding and sheltering
Being a good coach
available and accountable
Being a good child
obedient and achieving
Being a good parent
shaping and modeling
Being a good friend
listening and encouraging
All good things
Yes, indeed
Yet
not one of my roles
not one of the things I do
no matter how “good”
I am at it
no matter how “bad”
I am at it
not one of these things
determines my worth
I have worth.
I have value.
No matter what.

Sometimes Moms
forget all the things they do
forget all the things they have done
Sometimes Moms
focus on things they think they should have done
focus on things still yet to do
focus on things they could have done differently
Wait, Moms – 
that misses the point
that cancels the good
that silences the truth
Moms
do all that they can
with all that they have
for everyone they love
in any given minute
Moms are heroes
especially because
they are not perfect.
The only one who expects
a perfect mom
is Mom.
♥ Happy Mother’s Day ♥
to the beautiful, worthy,
beloved just as you are
♥ Moms of the world ♥
