mother’s day 2008
life out of nothing
chosen, picked, destined
to be part of me.
part of us.
God knew
these would be mine,
ours.
to love, nurture, remind
that life is beautiful,
good
hard
fragile
that they are exactly who they are
supposed to be.
strong.
loved.
meant to dream.
and we will fight for them
always,
fiercely protect
gently love
loudly laugh
gladly sacrifice
constantly apologize.
because time flies
and before i know it
they’ll be gone.
so today i
thank God, for my babies.
