Motherhood

I have learned that successful motherhood isn’t measured by…
a spotless sink,
freshly mopped floors,
sparkling windows,
or a spotless house.
Successful motherhood is more about….
open arms for countless hugs,
unlimited kisses to make boo boos better,
a lap that is open to hold and to snuggle,
arms outstretched to pick you up when you fall,
and a tender voice to make you feel loved.
But successful motherhood is also about….
tough love to train you,
hands to guide you,
and a persistence that pushes you to become the best that you can be.
