It Makes Me Proud

I once was told I could never be a mom.
The day my children were born, I was so overcome.
With laughter and joy in a unique way.
It was a new beginning of many good days.

It makes me proud to see our children  learn each day,
My favourite was to watch them have fun and play,
To hear them read and learn new things.
Then the creativity and the songs they did sing.

I was and still am the proudest of moms there ever could be.
Two adults thriving to learn,  working to succeed.
Yet I am not alone when it comes to being proud.
Their dad and I feel like we are floating in a cloud.

For the person who said I could never be a mom.
Felt I was too weak, fragile to some.'
Children are the symbols of our love for each other,
I am so proud to hear them say," I love you mother."
