Oh Motherhood…

May 9, 2012 By momcafe 16 Comments

A celebration of Motherhood on Mother’s Day…

Mother's Day Poem, Motherhood,

Oh Motherhood, Oh Motherhood,
 
You shine so big and bright.
 
We feel you in the morning and you wake us through the night.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Oh Motherhood,
 
These days, they do pass by.
 
They scurry in a hurry as you leave a weary eye.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Oh Motherhood,
 
You make us face our fears.
 
The seasons they can shake us and leave us all in tears.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Oh Motherhood,
 
You give us strength to show
 
Through every passing challenge, oh how you make us grow.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Oh Motherhood,
 
You hold us with all your might.
 
We’ll do anything to keep our babies safely in our sight.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Oooh Motherhood
 
You’re maddening as can be!
 
One day you’re up the next your down, you never set us free.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Ah Motherhood,
 
You bring us to our knees.
 
You ride us high and crash us down with desperate groaning pleas.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Oh Motherhood
 
You drive us all insane.
 
The questioning and worrying and wondering we blame.
 
Oh Motherhood, you fool us all
 
With dreams to rearrange.
 
But Motherhood, you please us good, there’s nothing we
 
would change.
 
 
Oh Motherhood, Yes Motherhood,
 
You test us through and through.
 
You make us fight with all our might, to hold on tight to you.
 
 
So Motherhood, Ah Motherhood
 
Your story’s still the same.
 
We come to you in gratitude for giving us your name.

    Love it, so true, but motherhood wouldn’t be the same without the ups and downs of childhood…ahhhh, the memories. Maturation and independence does kick in eventually. You can look back at all the turmoil and say to yourself, I did a damn good job. They turned out to be wonderful, caring, generous human beings.
