I wrote this poem last year, but thought it would be perfect for Mother’s day and good to re-share it for those that haven’t seen it before.
Oh, and of course, you can also find this poem in my new book ‘Rhymes of the Times. which is now available on Amazon and Kindle!
Happy Mother’s Day for all those that are celebrating it today 🙂
You wake up constantly through the night
To each and every cry
You soothe, you feed, you keep them clean
Then croon a lullaby
You take their hand as they take a step
Your face is filled with joy
You sing, you dance, you muck about
With your precious girls and boys
You nurse them when they are poorly
You kiss them when they weep
You fret, you stress, and you can’t relax
Until they are fast asleep
They sometimes drive you crazy
So you say you’ll smack their bum
You cook, you clean, you’re everything
But you’re never ‘Just a Mum’!
This is so beautifu, thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute to you Mother.

Just such an amazing tribute to a mom. Judy perfectly sums it up in a very beautiful way what our Mom’s did for us and what we pass on to our kids hopefully. She is right, there’s simply no being “just” a mom and yet we all see it a little bit like that. Because to be honest: It’s something we “just” do because it “just” feels normal…
