It's especially true of Mother's Day.
While some mothers are treated to flowers, cards, and
Breakfast in bed, others are estranged
From their kids.
Too many mothers have tragically lost a child,
Perhaps even an only one, or care for a
Disabled baby who will never walk, talk, or
Thrive.
Young women long to be moms, pray
Every day to be a mom, but their arms and
Hearts are empty still.
Lots of us have beautiful memories of our
Mothers while others suffered abuse from theirs.
Some will never know the identity of the one who
Birthed them, and people's hearts are sad because
Their mothers have died.
The scenarios are endless, the emotions intense and
Personal.
Today I will be sensitive.
I will rejoice with those who rejoice, and I
Will weep with those who weep.
