A Poem

We carry the weight

always holding it

heavy in our arms.

We sacrifice so much

never asking for payment or reward.

We have the ability to harness pure kindness,

nurture it in deep rooted spaces.

We hold tight to each other,

building a continuous bond

to safely pass it to the next.

*I was inspired to write this for Mother’s Day in response to the mounting pressure I feel to be a good parent*
