Mother's Day

Today, I hold space for the quiet miracles;
The sleepy feeds, the soft morning light,
The way your tiny hand finds mine in the dark.

I didn’t know motherhood would make me feel
both stretched and rooted all at once.
But here I am, more myself than I’ve ever been.

Happy Mother’s Day
To all of us finding our rhythm
in the gentlest, fiercest love.
