Mother

Me and my Mommy

many people ask me
if i have a job

i have had many
jobs in my life
and plan 2 in
the future but
today and always

i am a mother...

i am overworked
and underpaid
yet the benefits
are amazing

all little girls
have big dreams

in my dreams i married
the handsome prince

we raised babies together
and lived happily ever after

simple as that

i think we all
know it isn't quite
that simple

i never realized how
many times a mommy
has 2 sacrifice for
the happiness of those
she loves the most

i have learned from
the very best

my resume gets
better everyday

my mom has spent her
whole life working
and giving up every
thing she has for
the love of her family
she is beautiful inside
and out, and i hope
2 be like her someday
she has never let me down
not even one time
she taught me so many things
the one that stands out the most
is she always told me true happiness
is achieved through service 2 others
she has always had a full time job
and somehow always found a way 2 brighten
the lives of so many others
all that is virtuous in myself
i owe completely to my mother
oh how i love her

i will forever be
grateful 2 my dear
hubby's mom for raising
the man of my dreams
for teaching him 2
respect the many women in
his life, he will go 2 battle
for any of them if needed
i love her for that
she cares very deeply
4 her own children and
those her know her
know this...there is no
denying that
although she set the bar
a little 2 high in the kitchen
she is a great cook... i am not
the way 2 dear hubby's heart
is through his stomach
this has sparked many a conversation
in our relationship
not sure if this is a curse
or a blessing, but either way
he has a wonderful mum
who always took wonderful care of him

i became a mother for the
first time on august 1, 1997
that day lives on always in my heart
god gave me a son, an angel baby
a baby who will never have 2 experience
the harsh realities of this life
and i can now say i am grateful
that day i was blessed with
a new perspective on motherhood
he touched my heart and helped
me better understand the infinite
role of a mother and, from that
moment on, i knew i could never
ever take such a role for granite

a short time after that i was
blessed enough to witness such a
true testament of love, and motherhood
as the most beautiful, loving
and selfless birth mother
made the biggest most heart wrenching
sacrifice a mother could ever make
and at the same time she mended
my broken heart and made all
my dreams come true and even more
she gave me the chance 2 raise
the most beautiful girl in the world
i will forever be in her debt
i see her beauty every day
in the eyes of our perfect baby girl


2 years after that god entrusted me with another son
he is perfect in every way, he is special...
if you know him you know what i mean
he blesses my life in ways i never knew possible
he loves his mama, and i love him
there are no words for the joy he brings
he is my angel here on earth
he was not planned, the best gifts
in my life have taken me by complete surprise
oh how i love him, and every day i get with him
makes me miss my first son more

many things in my life have
not gone quite how i had dreamed

yet all my dreams came true

and in the end, i am a mother
it is the most sacred job
i will ever have

i have been lucky enough
2 spend almost every waking
hour with two precious children

they have taught me more about
life and love than i ever
could have imagined

right now my pocket book says i am poor
yet i feel like the richest girl in the world

all of my dreams came true and more

thanks 2 all the mothers in my life
mothers, birth mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, and friends
who have always been such great examples
and have taught me that actions will always
speak much louder than words
4 it has been said that
it takes a village 2 raise a child
thank you for being a part of my village


i love you all

happy mothers day!
