To All The Mothers

I miss my mama today and was thinking about what mothers are and do and though I may never experience it myself, I can still marvel.
So I am thinking of you today and the job you awoke with....the one that has no time card and no vacation.
Still, I think it may just be the greatest job in the world.
There are no perks quite like a child's love for her mother.


Mother is the bank where we deposit all our hurts and worries.
Where we may write checks even though we are overdrawn.
Mother is the endless flow of currency whether we are near or far from home.
Mother is security. A vault that has no lock.
Mother is forgiveness for things we don't even know we've done.
And where she is is home.
