Mother’s day is just around the corner…

but have you really taken the time…

to think about who we are… as mothers…?

We are her…

and her….

and her…

We are sassy

and also sweet.

We are tender…

and we are tough.

We work from home

or in the home

or at the office.

Some of usare golden…

and some of us are green.

We are decorated

and silly,

spiritual,

and studious,

and sometimes we lose our way.

Some days we know it all…

and sometimes,we’ve still gota lot to learn.

We are sisters, daughtersand granddaughters,

and this prepares us for the mothers we will become.

We are nurturing,

and introspective,

and we come from every walk of life.

We are role modelsfor our children…

Some days are harder than others

and our self image maybegin to deteriorate…

But you can bet we’lldo just about anything,

To find a little balance

and be there for our children.

Because at the endof the day…

that’s really wherewe want to be.

Forward this to every

mother you know, young and old,

new and seasoned.

And let her know

how much you appreciate

the selfless work she does.
