I am Mom

On Motherhood

New eyes open every day—

but none like those born from you.

Wrapped in love,

in God’s holy presence,

you are mine,

and I am yours—

forever, always.

My joy whispers,

everything will be okay,

even when my lips

are too far away to say it.

My arms are your shelter—

safe when danger approaches,

steadfast in peace.

I will never run short of reasons

to love you,

to protect you,

to celebrate your every step.

You are my heart.

No moment after you

can change this truth.

Every breath

only deepens our bond.

As I grow old,

my body fading,

my only wish will be

more time with you.

But through faith,

through love’s community,

you will carry the torch—

the echo of my soul

within your steps.

From the instant

of your first breath,

I knew:

nothing ever mattered

until you.

Forever and always,

I am Mom.
