Oh mother, oh mother
What challenge awaits your day?
Stay strong and endure
The “endless road” some say!
Mother, ah… Mother
Embrace each moment or
You’ll look back and wonder
Was there so much more?
Oh Mother, dear Mother
The winding road you’ll see
That when the path takes a turn
Another road will be.
Oh Mother, Mother, Mother….
Your days shine on and on
Full of victory and triumph
And failures come and gone.
So Mother, Mom, or Mommy
Whatever stage your in
Remember that it ends
And a new one will begin.
Each season will inspire
New twists and turns and bends
Hold on tight, with all your might
Your mission never ends.
Absolutely beautiful and you are so right being a mom is never ending. Hugs and have a great weekend, Chris :$
Thanks so much sweet friend… our motherhood mission carries on!!! 🙂
Love this, Chris. You nailed it!
Thanks Jennifer!! Our motherhood mission never ends, my friend!! XOXO
“Remember that it ends
And a new one will begin.”
Love this line! Whenever the going gets tough, I try to remember that everything is a phase…and someday I’ll long for the very struggles I’m facing now. I’m working on valuing both the good times and the challenging ones.
Oh it’s just so hard when we are ‘in it’ isn’t it? But oh as time goes on, I am learning to embrace each and every season of this mission. There is something so beautiful in how it unfolds…
Great poem Chris! It doesn’t ever end, does it? Beautiful!
I wrote this a while ago- back in my solitary blog days! There’s a bunch more to this- but I wanted to do a ‘quickie’ that encapsulates the message. 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m already dreading the days when my sweet little boys will be big boys. This is so encouraging. That teen adventure may just as wonderful.
Every season has its own worth… Lord only knows how they will present themselves! But God’s plan for us and our children will be perfect amidst the growing pains and relentless joy! I love that every single day, our kids are changing right before our eyes. Blows me away really. WOW.
This is absolutely beautiful, Chris!
Thanks so much for coming by to read it, Tracie! XO
So beautiful. I kept wondering if this was a famous song or poem!
Oh you’re so sweet Tamara! Just a little diddy… 😉
Completely gorgeous, Chris. Seriously. Beautiful, inspiring, and amazing. Just like you.
Thanks so so much, Kristi. XO
I feel honored to have read this again today Chris. so perfect. So true and so right. <3
Thanks so much my friend. You are such an encouragement to me!! And yes- here’s to Motherhood. <3
Amen. Gorgeous. Thank you.
Every time I see your comment with your latest post titled, “The non-suck part” I literally laugh out loud!!! LLOL!! (Hey- that should totally be a thing- LLOL.
Even the non-such parts come with every season of motherhood!! LOVE you!!
I’m at the stage when they only call home when they need money. At least with one of mine. The other is going crazy trying to have a baby. There will always be at a different stage, no matter how old they get.
Ah… my sister is in ‘that season’ with her kids too!! I think I’ll stay here for the moment… middle school and grade school!! 😉
Very timely read for me. I had to take my kid to the clinic again today because her cough is just not going away! They took an xray and we have to go back tomorrow. Also had to go straight to work right after. 🙁
Ugh… that sounds draining Jhanis. Motherhood. Yup. I hope she is doing better now? Sick children can pull us under. Oh, do I know this!
I love this… <3
Thanks so much my friend!
