What Makes a Mother?


What makes a good Mother anyway?
Is it patience?
Compassion?
Broad hips?
The ability to nurse a baby,
cook dinner,
and sew a button on a shirt,
all at the same time?
Or is it the heart?
Is it the ache you feel
when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?
Happy Mother's Day!!!
