Today is Mothers Day.

Happy Mothers Day to all the mommies out there! I am a little sad today, but things are getting "easier" slowly. I am getting back into the normal everyday life swing-of-things again. I am finding myself staying more to myself and stuck in my house - but I am finding peace and slowly healing. I found this poem the other day that really touched me in so many ways. I thought I would share - I am going to put it next to my bed. Happy Mothers Day!



I thought of you and closed my eyes and prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother and I know I heard him say:
A mother has a baby, this we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother, when your baby's not with you?

Yes, you can he replied, with confidence in his voice.
I give many women babies, when they leave is not thier choice.
Some I send for a lifetime and others for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb, but there's no need to stay.

I just don't understand this God, I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared his throat, and then I saw a tear.
I wish that I could show you, what your child is doing today,
If you could see your child smile, with other children who say:

We go to earth and learn our lessons of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much, I got to come straight here.
I feel so lucky to have a mom, who has so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly, my mommy set me free.

I miss my mommy oh so much, but I visit her each day.
When she goes to sleep, on her pillow's where I lay.
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek and whisper in her ear.
"Mommy don't be sad today, I'm your baby and I'm here."

So you see my dear sweet one, your children are Ok.
Your babies are here in My home, they'll be at heavens gate for you.
So now you see what makes a mother, it's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of, right from the very start.
