According to Google, A Mother…

A Poem about Moms, a woman with multiple titles

According To Google, A mother is a protector, disciplinarian, and friend.

She is a selfless and loving human who must sacrifice many of their wants and needs for their children's wants and needs. She works hard to make sure their children are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to be competent human beings.

Many females choose to be mothers, and some women are young, and a child changes things, yet the choice is made when the baby kicks or is born.

Then they become Superwoman, Wonder-Woman, Michelle Obama, and/or a fierce woman of God.

There is a choice to wake up, make breakfast, and pack our lunches, even as we grow into adulthood.

The choice to stay up late to hear the rants of our day; when understanding and clarification is needed, the safest place for the questions, answers, encourage our own curiosity is in your hands and hugs.

There is a choice to raise their children in church and the word of God.

The choice to wipe away the tears of sadness, be there for the joy and anger, guide us with their experiences from life; the love is never in small doses.

When someone says that they don’t have a choice, there is always a choice.

The choice to be a mom and a mother; to be loving, caring, compassionate, empathic, and have her arms open to be a warm, comfortable security blanket of openness, unconditional, and honesty.

Some women have that natural motherly instinct with these eyes full of compassion, joy, anger, sadness, possessiveness, protective nature, but most importantly, the unlimited capacity to love everyone that crosses her path.

As well as they breathe in her heart of gold with endless advice, multiple prayers, love from their hearts, the warmth of their touch and, an unlimited amount of hugs

Some mothers will get up early to make breakfast, lunch, and dinner all at once and make them differently for the husband and the children with different food tastes.

And some females choose not to have children and are judged, scorned, and are called heartless, But are called unfit, unstable, and other dehumanizing names when we create children by ourselves, become mothers who have jobs/careers or become stay-at-home mothers. Those who choose not to be mothers will be amazing AUNTIES, MENTORS, and Friend

There is no winning in either situation, and there are not enough wasted apologies or empathy that can help live in this world.

They carry every title with humility and grace. Titles such as Best Friend, Grandma, Chef, Advisor in every aspect of our lives, caretaker, rant specialist, conscious and subconscious cheerleader

To be a Teacher, Nurse, Counselor, Chauffeur, and a Friend

We can’t function without them, and when we try, we are lost at sea.

Personally, my mom and sister(sister mom), I love them more than I can breathe, and I am lost without them;

The first fall is always scary, but mom is there to pick you up, clean your wounds, wipe away the tears, and send you out to try again.
