Being a Mother Is Not Easy

ByEmily Verse 
Tired eyes, morning's first light,
Coffee brews, sleepless night.
Tiny socks, floors to sweep,
Quiet house, baby's asleep.

Lunchbox packed, shoes to find,
Kisses quick, always behind.
Homework checked, dinner's call,
Hugs dispense, standing tall.

Tears wiped away, fears soothed,
Endless tasks, love unmoved.
In her arms, burdens ease,
Strength found in the softest breeze.

Each day long, yet years fly,
"Mom" — a title, her heart's reply.
The daily reality of motherhood
The daily reality of motherhood
A tender moment in a child’s bedroom
A tender moment in a child’s bedroom

    Love is Blind

    ByNathaniel B.

    In shadows’ play, eyes deceive,Touch becomes the sight we weave.Blind, yet vivid, love’s design,Tracing paths no eyes define.In silence, hearts converse, reveal,A language eyes cannot unseal.Blindfolded trust, in leaps entwined,Where vision fades, love’s sight refined.In the absence of light, feelings grow,Blind, yet clear, as true hearts show.Emotions deep, in darkness find,A love so blind, yet…
