I am just a Mother…
I teach a child to read at school, I’m called a Teacher.
But if I teach my child to read stories and tales at home, then I’m just a Mother.
If I plan lessons for a class, I’m called a Curriculum Coordinator.
But if educate my child at home, then I’m just a mother.
If I sit and talk to children an hour each, a week, addressing their needs, I’m a Speech Therapist.
But if I engage and help my child with patience every minute of every day, instill proper values, then I’m just a Mother.
If I look after a patient in the hospital, I’m called a Nurse.
But, if I nurse my child when they’re ill, awake all night, none able to replace my reassuring presence, then I’m just a Mother.
If I manage my boss’s office, I’m called a Secretary,
But, if I organize my children’s lives and my home, a place for everything and everything in its place, then I’m just a Mother.
If I prepare a meal in a restaurant, I’m called a Chef.
But, if I cook nutritious meals daily, made with love, remembered forever, then I’m just a Mother.
If I work late worrying about a deal for clients, how to make them as much money as I can, I’m a Career Woman.
But, if I stay up worrying and planning my children’s bright future, the bright future of our world, then I’m just a Mother.
If I sing on a stage, I’m an Artist.
If I sing a lullaby every night, then I’m just a Mother.
Lastly,
We often tend to forget and realize that being a mother and bringing up our children with the values is the hardest profession of all. Truly, the mother and child relationship may not have any fancy designations, simply because the word “Mother” itself is the sum total of all the designations in the world. Salute to every Mother and would be mothers.
