Mothers, Take care
So you can take care of your kids

You must have heard:
"God is one,
but He can't be everywhere —
so He made mothers."
Mothers — the saviors,
of the vulnerable kids,
in a cruel world.
A mother understands,
feelings of her child
without a word.
She sees the face
senses their grief,
knows cause of grimace.
She’ll do anything
to put food on the table.
She’ll stay hungry,
to fill child's bowel.
She’ll remove her own jacket
to keep her child warm.
In the bruising, stormy ocean,
she is the balm and calm.
But society has changed,
now mothers in the workplace.
kids have ample amenities,
but no loving presence.
Mothers are choked by
society’s chemical products,
and unrealistic expectations.
They are sick, and stressed —
psychologically, emotionally.
That’s not good for anybody.
we need healthy mothers,
in both body and spirit.
Make self-care a priority,
don’t be manipulated, by deceptions
Make better decisions,
and avoid gullibility.
Your kids need you, for eternity.
