Mothers, Take care

So you can take care of your kids

You must have heard:

"God is one,

but He can't be everywhere —

so He made mothers."

Mothers — the saviors,

of the vulnerable kids,

in a cruel world.

A mother understands,

feelings of her child

without a word.

She sees the face

senses their grief,

knows cause of grimace.

She’ll do anything

to put food on the table.

She’ll stay hungry,

to fill child's bowel.

She’ll remove her own jacket

to keep her child warm.

In the bruising, stormy ocean,

she is the balm and calm.

But society has changed,

now mothers in the workplace.

kids have ample amenities,

but no loving presence.

Mothers are choked by

society’s chemical products,

and unrealistic expectations.

They are sick, and stressed —

psychologically, emotionally.

That’s not good for anybody.

we need healthy mothers,

in both body and spirit.

Make self-care a priority,

don’t be manipulated, by deceptions

Make better decisions,

and avoid gullibility.

Your kids need you, for eternity.
