•I became a new mommy again this year, here’s another tribute to motherhood

💞My Whole Heart
Tired eyes, frustrated sighs
they weigh on me
like a heavy summer storm.

But every time their laughter forms,
the breath of life returns.
With every bottle I fill,
with every bit of advice I give,
I find myself again.

Sisters to each other,
daughters to me.
The oldest, a mirror of my youth.
The youngest,
a wild force, bound to bring the hammer down
and change the world
with her grace alone.

And I’d do it all again
the tears,
the struggles,
the pieces of me buried
beneath the rubble
just to see their faces
shine.

Now, I’m truly happy.
These girls propel me forward,
pulling joy from the chaos
of our own little circus.

Motherhood has me
shedding old skins,
becoming someone new
my best self,
because of them.

Though eleven years apart,
they are sisters.
But to me,
they are my whole heart.
