Mothers© By Christina M. Gunlock
The word Mother is a synonym for so many words it is incredible.
A Doctor, the many cuts, bruises & aches every child gets is an emergency & must be attended to. With a motherly kiss & a questioning 'Is it all better?' The ailment which was such a tragedy only a moment before, is no longer a problem.
A Comforter, after a nightmare, a mother's embrace while singing Amazing Grace, assuring her child all is well & the child is no longer afraid.
A Chef, the meals thrice daily always must be tended to, each an intriguing balance of minerals, vitamins, proteins & who knows what else, but mother.
A Detective, when a favorite puppy or blanket is missing, Mother is on the case. If the item is to be found, it is cause for celebration, perhaps a chocolate chip? But if the lost item is gone, Mother is there with an encouraging embrace & a sincere 'I am sorry.'
A Beautician, there with the perfect necklace, or pin to complete the ultimate dress-up outfit.
A Decorator for when her baby is now a teenager in need of more mature surroundings.
And most importantly, a Mother. My Mother.
All these words and more are true in describing the word 'Mother', but can not come close to describing the actual person who performs the job. Awe, which is the feeling you get thinking about your mother & what a special person she is. She always says or does the right thing.
A surprise awaking on your birthday with her sitting on your bed whispering 'Happy Birthday!'
A quiet, loving embrace when a dear friend or pet dies.
An excited 'Yes!' when you won your first horse show ribbon.
A forgiving hug after you throw a temper-tantrum & you realize what you did.
A quiet 'Goodnight, I love you.' At bedtime.
The confiding about your first real crush.
Mother I can't thank you enough for being you.
The times you've said 'I've failed!' That is never so. All it is, is another learning experience.
No one can be you but you.
Thank you for being a mother to me.
I Love You.
