Motherhood

Being a mother can be very tough
There are days when I feel all gruff
Every time I feel like that I wish I know
I simply need to relax & go with the flow
Every time my kids make utter mess 
I wish I know there are many who suffer from being childless
Every time I see my dreams being fulfilled in their future
I wish I know my job is not to control but to nurture
I wish I remember that they are unique individuals
They might not wish to follow my customs and rituals 
Every time they want to spread their wings and fly
I wish I can let them go even though my heart might cry
I wish being a mother was not so tough……..
I wish there aren’t any days when I feel gruff…….
