Elements of Motherhood

Stillness

Something I once knew often
Today I see it only in fleeting glances

Reflection

Another daily habit to get lost in the moment
Now something almost stolen in rare silent seconds

Advice

 Only a conversation in waiting
Everything is right; Everything is wrong
Depends on who’s asking

Yet His still soft voice remains
Whispering between the storms
Of laundry and dishes
Of gleeful giggles and cries for comfort

He reveals Himself

In the innocence of baby blue eyes
Staring so intently; deep pools of absolute trust

In the soft snores passing milky lips
Sleepy snuggles searching for more than just a meal

In compassion that overtakes me
In love that overwhelms me

Oh the need to ponder
The wonder of this miracle

That steals away my rational thought
Threatening my heart to burst

In a world of information
No instruction could prepare you

For this miracle of design of
One who does not just love
But rather is Love

Just stop-
Stop comparing
Stop worrying
Stop

Breathe
Listen
Love
His voice is always there

He will never fail
