more mama voices

from kim goldner:


the storm inside settles
the intensity stands still
but the pain lingers

the day has been tough
none of the girls had my back
my friends no longer

moving on from here
grateful for all i do have
my heart mends slowly



from amanda b:


Being held hostage
by snoring little people
Better than dishes...


from randa:
Your smile is my joy
Your tears are my deepest pain
Ache for endless smiles

Sleepy sighs echo
Your snuggle my deep comfort
Warmth envelopes us

Your thoughts my future
Ocean deep eyes my mirror
Snow blond hair my past

Her first word our pride
Her first steps we hold our breath
Her laughter our great joy





from kim noyes:


so smart and funny
your eyes so green and speckled pure
honored to be mom



from kim goldner:

you smile perfectly
my heart aches to keep your soul
pure, safe, strong, loving

my son, my sun, mine
i will honor your spirit
for my new life's work

how i longed for you
so many years without joy
so many tears cried

my scar is healing
that soft place from which you came
forever, your home

from dee presley:


Her timid placed hands
the glow and whirl of ride bright
Breathless jubilance
