Being a Mom

Being a Mom doesn’t come with instruction. It doesn't have a reward system And most of the time you give more than you get. Being a Mom has made me break and has made me strong. It brought heartache and pride And more often than not, I fell asleep with my pillow wet. Being a Mom comes from deep inside one's soul. Having a baby doesn't define us, But enduring every struggle and every tiny victory does. Being a Mom is the hardest hat I've ever worn. It is selfless and exhausting If after falling down a thousand times, we still get back up. Being a Mom means you will feel a special kind of pain. A hurt that has no words And still we will love with our wounds wide open. Being a Mom is not for the faint of heart. It requires us to be steadfast Even when love in return, is most often left unspoken.
