A Mothers’ Lament

November 13, 2011 Georgene Leave a Comment

I loved motherhood immensely,  but while raising our two children I also remember occasionally feeling overwhelmed by the enormous sense of responsibility for these two tiny precious lives that were entrusted to my care. I was also a wee bit surprised with just how much work it involved.  All the daily chores of housework, preparing their wholesome meals, their baths, and being able to keep both a girl and boy entertained and happy were a great achievement in and of itself. Our days consisted of playing learning games, singing and dancing to music, drawing, coloring, painting, making noodle art – and going outside to get our daily dose of sunshine. By days end after reading them a story, singing them a lullaby and tucking them both in I would contently collapse on the couch and think about how it was going to all start over again tomorrow. Then, a couple of hours after they were asleep I’d miss them and wish they were awake again! I was experiencing like most loving mothers, the joys of motherhood. One day it suddenly dawned on me how fast they were growing up and a profound sadness washed over me. I wished “if only I could keep them little” – and from that moment on I never took any of the chores I felt privileged to do for granted again. It was that mere thought that inspired the following short poem I composed entitled…

“A Mothers’ Lament”

“Treasure the moments of motherhood…

they slip through our fingers so fast.

Don’t ever take them for granted…

for babies, like moments don’t last!”
