Reflection for Moms

I wrote this reflection on May 9th, 2021. I wanted to share it again as a way to honor Moms on this Mother’s Day. This is written from your child’s perspective.

The Imprint You Made on My Heart

You were the first to feel me encounter this world.

You understood my cry for food and when I just needed comfort.

You were moved with compassion when I was unable to tell you what hurt or why I was sick.

You taught me how to clothe myself, tie my shoes and fix my hair.

You repeated instructions of the do's and don’t more times than you care to remember, but they stuck.

Your smile was present at all of the important events of my life.

You cried when I disobeyed or disappointed you.

You laughed with me and sometimes at me because of my cuteness.

You saw my potential and kept pointing me in the right direction.

You wonder if I really know that you love me? Always! 

Wherever I am in this world, whatever tasks that I am attempting to do, whenever our closeness seems distant, KNOW that your love has made a permanent imprint on my heart.

Moms we love and honor each of you today.

Blessings 
Love Y'all
