I used to feel guilty for not showing up everywhere

 I used to feel guilty for not showing up everywhere

For not always replying right away
For canceling plans last minute
For needing time alone or time with just my kids

But then I realized
There’s no place I’m needed more than right here
In my home
With my people

The rest of the world can wait
Because these little hearts
These little hands reaching for me
They don’t stay little for long

So if I say no
If I go quiet
If I disappear for a while

Just know
I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be
Being the safe place
The constant
The everything
For the ones who call me Mom

Everything else can come second
And that’s not me giving up
That’s me choosing what matters most

Every single time
