Can you imagine this

Can you Imagine this...
 
If you were a mom
 
but no one acknowledged it
 
because there was no child to show
 
it was if your child was dead..
 
your arms were empty
 
and your heart was full and overflowing with
 
GRIEF
 
and WHAT IFS
 
and ANGER
 
Can you imagine if you
 
Lay awake every night
 
And wondered what your
 
little boy was doing now.
 
If his mama kissed him good night...
 
If he felt loved...
 
If he wondered about you...
 
If he had friends...
 
If he shared the same sense of humor...
 
Can you imagine if you
 
wished he were dead instead
 
because then you knew
 
Your little boy was safe with Jesus.
 
But instead you had to trust in
 
His "other Mother"
 
To guide him in this big bad world.
 
Can you imagine feeling
 
"Less than" on Mothers day
 
Because you had to hand your
 
little baby boy
 
over to someone else because
 
You weren't able to care for him?
 
It's too bad we can't remind
 
That Mother
 
that she has a heart of a true Mother.
 
A strength
 
A faith
 
She followed her heart.
 
She loved him so much
 
That she gave up her only son.
 
And turned and stumbled away
 
blinded by tears.
 
And drowned the feelings
 
in any desparate way...
 
I wish That Mother knew
 
That she is a
 
GOOD MOTHER.
 
a BEAUTIFUL MOTHER.
 
A MOTHER that will NEVER be forgotten.
 
Because she gave life.
 
Everyday the "other Mother"
 
is reminded because
 
she sees the "Mother"
 
smiling back at her.
 
It warms her heart.
 
And she smiles to herself.
 
THANK YOU
 
with love.

  1. And I thank God every day that I am lucky enough to be the 'other mother'. May God bless you, Gabrielle and Natashia.
    Beautifully written, Jen.

  2. Mother's Day is such a day of emotion and it has so many sides to the miracles that have made us all Mothers...
