Motherhood Poems
The 7 Day Rat Race
by Sarah A
Racing towards the weekend, Mom is full of joy.
A hard week’s worth of work, all worth it and so
she can see her little boy.
Once Saturday morn hits,
they play outside all day in the sun.
The boy laughs and wonders,
Why can’t every day be this fun?
They go and get ice cream

Always a Mother
by Baramundi Roy
Cutting the umbilical cord was so fearful
and letting them go so difficult and tearful.
Confusion and doubt came flooding into my soul
my future uncertain now that I’ve lost my role.
My nest was empty now that my fledglings had flown
for they had gone their own way and left me alone.
But my undying love and care will never end
because I will always be their mother and friend.
Beryl Eugenie Bell
by Sharon Morgan
(In memory of my mother 1931 - 1980)
Born in 1931,
before the second world war had begun
A beautiful, brown-eyed baby girl
The sweetest, Beryl Eugenie Bell
One of ten, her father’s favorite
In knowledge and beauty, she would excel
To him, no other child was greater than

She died
by Dina Shehada
Everything about her is so special
You touch her hand and feel it's cold
As if it was a metal
Asking the lord
Please make her feel better
Those stunning eyes
Their gorgeous color
Look at them and feel her magic power
Let your hand run through her hair
You will know how it feels to touch the rainbow rain

To All The Mother’s Around The World...
by Jeffrey Pipes Guice
You wake me with a hug...
As the sun begins to rise...
You ask if I slept well...
Wipe the sleep from my eyes...
You dress me for school...
In all my favorite clothes...
You tell me I look just perfect...
As only a loving mother knows...

Words to my mother
by Olivia Inafa
A special day in which you gave life
That breath accompanied with the first cry
Went through tremendous pain
Which were not in vain
The love and care which you have shown
Second to that which is above
The rooftop and walls bear witness to your prayer
As you fervently demanded our blessings from the maker
Your strength leaves me in awe
Structured our life with the holy law

My Boy
by May Golda
I was sent to the edge of that cliff, and there I sat.
There I stared into the void, the nothingness.
I felt the rock from beneath sifting...crumbling.
Stillness
I could not find the strength, as the earth beneath disinterested.

My Pride Resides in Her Smile
by Brady Stewart
Momma, I know you've beaten down my mind,
But oh, the ways I remember
How you've been whipped by God.
I recall your force-fed tears,
The illness of loneliness.
I want to cry,
Recalling bedtime
Knowing we heard your cries,
Yet you couldn't stop.
I don't understand why I was traumatized,
