MAMA 💖

I am not yet a mother, but it is an honor to be one, and to all the mothers out there I salute you.

I don’t know anything about childbearing but compared to monthly cycles I know it is not a walk in the park.

I may not know how to change a diaper, but honestly speaking all mothers are doing a great job.

I have not been woken up by the wailing of a hungry infant only the buzzing of mosquitoes so mothers are indeed strong.

My breasts have not been sucked dry in the name of breastfeeding and you may not know this, but I stand with our mothers, respect!

I don’t know what goes in the labor rooms, only the ‘push! Push!’ and ‘I can see the baby! And anyone can tell it is a battle that most women win.

I don’t know the despair that comes when the baby does not cry but I do know it is panic waves to a mother.

I have not encountered unfriendly nurses during antenatal checkups but I have heard sad stories from experienced expectant mothers.

I have not dreaded the loss of a child due to high fever but I have seen what a frustrated mother can do. Hearts of a Warrior.

I have not called my mother in desperation because of my infant’s skin rash but I have seen my sister do it with shaking voice and hands.

I don’t know how it feels to be a mother.

A new mother in town or even a mother of nine.

I don’t know what it takes to be one strong one.

I don’t know how they push through.

But what I do know is….

To be a mother is a blessing.

To be a mother is a calling.

To be a mother is a decision.

To be a mother is a sacrifice.

To be a mother is a gift.

It comes from above, and bless you all who are mothers.
