“Happy Mother's Day”
it comes around every year;
but when you have empty arms,
it's very hard to hear.
It's a day to celebrate a mother,
for all the trials she overcame;
and a reminder to an infertile
of her loneliness and shame.
But what really makes a mother,
Is it just conception and birth?
Or is there something more,
that shows a mother's worth?
It's putting your child first,
in everything you do;
it's sacrifice and determination,
and love and patience too.
An infertile woman makes all her plans,
around a child not yet conceived;
she loves them even though they aren't here,
more than she ever could have believed.
She appreciates and understands,
what a blessing that children are;
she works hard for just a chance,
that motherhood is not that far.
All odds are stacked against her,
and yet she still has hope;
everyday is another struggle,
finding ways to help her cope.
So even though her arms are empty,
she can still be a mother too;
So say a special “Happy Mother's Day”
for those waiting for their dreams to come true!

That is a really beautiful poem Julie. I love you. :)
Do you know I secretly stalk your blog? Well I do ;-) And now the secret is out. The poem you shared (on the babies birthday ;-) is beautiful. This Mother's Day I was on the 'other side'. And while I definitely celebrated the day and our sweet babies - I mostly thought of those who a) don't have mother's and b) are not yet mothers. While I definitely don't understand/know why I was lucky enough to finally get these babies I do know the ache and the longing. I can't wait for the (sleepless ;-) Mother's Day that you get to enjoy with a baby in your arms. It will come and it will be a sweet, sweet day. Know that you are loved and were definitely missed yesterday.
Oh, my sweet Julie Bug! As with many things - I don't understand while life is such for you. But I have faith and hope. Love you! Mom :)
