Mother’s Day is coming

 Mother’s Day is coming…

and the world will pause for a moment
to celebrate the women who gave life
but some of us will feel it a little deeper than that

because motherhood
isn’t just in the raising
it’s in the remembering
the longing
the loving that never had a place to land

Mother’s Day is coming…

for the moms with little hands reaching up
calling your name before the sun even rises
you are in the thick of it
the tired
the touched out
the beautiful chaos you’ll one day miss

for the moms who have let go
who carry their babies in their hearts instead of their arms
this day may feel heavy
but your love still matters
it always will

for the grandmothers
who now watch their babies raise babies
who see pieces of their own motherhood
living on in tiny faces
you are the roots of it all

and for the women still waiting
still praying
still hoping to hear “mama” one day
God sees every quiet tear
every whispered prayer

Mother’s Day is coming…

and no matter what it looks like for you
whether it’s loud and full
or quiet and aching

your love counts
your story matters
and you are seen

today and always
