Mothers

I smile when I look at you, every glance I steal is met with emotion in your eyes.



The frustration you feel when you just can't figure out how to put the cap back on your marker.

The anxiety you experience the first time you try on those new skates.

The fear in your eyes when your night light burns out at 1 am.

The happiness of digging your toes into the sand on a warm day at the beach.



The love you feel when you squeeze my hand only to have me squeeze you back.

The anger of not watching The Lion King two times in a row and your mother forcing you up off the couch.

The injustice you believe of having to pay attention when someone is speaking to you.

The warmth you feel when you are ill and I allow you all day to stay cradled in my arms.

The sillies you get when you stay up past your bedtime.



The joy of knowing someone so well that you can only glance at their eyes and know that whatever it is that you are thinking, they are thinking it too.

Although you were not planned in any sense of time, I always knew that you were right for me.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, to everyone.
