I Am Not A Mom

 No Mother's Day brunch,

or handmade gift shall I receive.

I long for the love of a child,

but I can only grieve.

I am not a mom.

Friends old and new,

once single like me.

Married with families,

content to let me be "aunty."

But I am not a mom.

Some may choose to not be one,

but the choice was ripped from my hands.

I wanted but can never have,

the one thing that was part of my plans.

I will still never be a mom.

Every year in May,

I weep for the loss.

It is the overwhelming sadness,

that is my cross.

I cannot be a mom.

Am I jealous,

you could say yes.
But I squelch my envy

because it just makes me stress.

I wish I was a mom.

I hear others say

but you are one really.

Just a different kind,

perhaps more ideally.

I could be a mom.

But I am still sad,

and will never hide it.

A part of me is missing

more than I care to admit.

No...I am not a mom.

For those of you like me, I understand...

Sunday Scribble - Happy Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day comes once a year,

but one day is not enough.

Mindful to keep her very near,

and never, ever treat her like fluff.

Always there and never far,

holding hands and wiping  tears.

Watched us learn to drive that car,

biggest cheerleader through the years.

Breakfast in bed and macaroni jewel box

she loved every gift no matter made or bought.

Now she'd be happy with a card and some socks,

as long as we remember her like we aught.

Not an obligation to spend time with our Mothers,

she's loved us without fail and beyond all measure.

It's better than being alone if we had our druthers,

and love her so much 'cause she's our greatest treasure.

Happy Mother's Day to all moms near and far!
