The Joy of Being a Mother

So many times I wished to write about them but never had the courage to lift a pen, could words ever describe their smiles specially when they're hiding a surprise, could words ever describe the joy I feel, when they hug me tight, could words ever describe my pride when they walk up to receive a prize, could words ever describe how my heart breaks when they fall, yet pretend to be brave, I could never put in words the prayer I say each time they leave home for school or play, could words ever describe the warmth I feel when I stand by the bed and watch them sleep, arguing, talking, crying, laughing being together words could never describe the joys of being a mother...
