A Mother’s Lament
Oh, the joys of motherhood, they say
A constant juggling act, every day
Sleepless nights, and endless days
A never-ending cycle, in endless ways
The laughter, the tears, the tantrums too
The messy rooms, the sticky floors, anew
The constant worrying, the fear of not enough
The guilt and shame, the doubts and rough
But then comes the cuddles, the kisses so sweet
The tiny hands, the little feet that meet
The milestones reached, the memories made
The love and pride, that never fades
Oh, the struggles of motherhood, they say
A constant balancing act, every day
Trying to be perfect, trying to be strong
But sometimes it’s hard, and it’s wrong
But in the midst of chaos, we find our way
Through the struggles and joys, we learn each day
To cherish every moment, every sigh
And find our strength, in our mother’s cry
Poem:
A Mother’s Prayer
Dear God above,
I pray for patience and love
For my child who tests my might
And my own heart that beats with all your light
I pray for wisdom to guide me through
The tantrums and tears, the messes anew
For strength to stand when I feel so weak
And for peace to calm my anxious heart that seeks
I pray for your protection and care
For my child’s safety and well-being to share
For health and happiness, for joy and delight
For a life that’s full of love and light
Poem:
Motherhood Unfiltered
Motherhood is messy, it’s true
A never-ending cycle of mess and goo
But amidst the chaos, we find our way
To a love so strong, it guides us each day
It’s hard to be perfect, but we try
To be the best moms we can be, we never say die
We sacrifice our own dreams and desires
To give our children everything they need and require
It’s a journey of ups and downs, of highs and lows
But through it all, we find our own strength and growth
We learn to laugh at ourselves, to let go of shame
And to find our own identity in this new role we claim
Poem:
Moments Like These
Moments like these I’ll never forget
The laughter, the tears, the memories we’ve met
The first steps taken, the first words said
The first smile that lit up our world instead
The moments of pride when we see them grow
When they overcome fears and take control
The moments of joy when we’re together as one
When love and laughter fill our lives until they’re won
Moments like these are precious to us all
A reminder of love that stands tall
