MOTHERHOOD

Lindsays Grandma — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 00:22:13 GMT

I've carried a child within my body. Slept with them on my chest. I've kissed little toes and wiped away tears. I've been vomited on and peed on, and spent sleepless nights cradling my crying child, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

My body isn't magazine perfect, but when I look in the mirror, I see a mom, and there is no greater honor, love, or blessing.

Nice sentiments, @Lindsays Grandma. Since you don't credit anyone, should we presume you're the author?

@x Hedge ...I wish I could credit this to someone, a friend sent it to me as is.

Oh well, perhaps she's the author.

@Lindsays Grandma I would like to add I've spent many a late night worrying about my son(s) while they were out "on the town" driving my car when they were 16, (and got the call one night that "some drunk totalled my car in an accident and you need to come get me" and the call one holiday that "some 16 year old driving his dad's company car just totalled my pickup") and earned every grey hair on my head....

Luckily, neither was his fault and I am so thankful he wasn't injured.

@Lindsays Grandma I'm sure you are a beautiful loving mom that displays all the attributes of your post. And I'm sure that many share these traits. My heart breaks for those who have not experienced a nurturing loving Mom, just as it does for the animals who mourn the loss of their precious babies taken from them shortly after they come into this world. Motherhood is a universal archetype that is shared by all sentient beings.

Thank you for this sensitive and loving post.

@Lindsays Grandma I couldn't have said it any better!! Thank you.

@x Hedge...Did you see my post saying that a friend sent me the article as is, no mention of of an author?

That's such a beautiful sentiment and it's so true.

Anyone know that song, Hymn to Her? It's a love song between mother and child.

Let me inside you
Into your room
I've heard it's lined
With the things you don't show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
I've been your lover
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter
When the moon becomes round
You be my mother
When everything's gone

And she will always carry on
Something is lost
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings change
Some stay the same

Keep beckoning to me
From behind that closed door
The maid and the mother
And the crone that's grown old

I hear your voice
Coming out of that hole
I listen to you
And I want some more
I listen to you
And I want some more

She will always carry on
Something is lost
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change
Some stay the same

And she will always carry on
Something is lost
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change
Some stay the same
