Happy Mothers Day to every mother out there. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. I can’t even begin to imagine how tough it must be to raise children, however old they are right now, in a world where let’s just simply say is a bit of a crazy place to live in. As a single girl myself, I do feel the inner child in me is still there because my mother does treat me as so, under her umbrella of worry. The worry that will always be there, is here till this day. I am sure every mother can perhaps testify to this. I’d like to think my mother is a warrior and a worrier. A warrior of worries. But what makes Mother Day a special day is the fact every lil space in the corner of our minds is made to reflect upon how precious they are to us, even though it is easy to forget, as we are so immersed in our day to day lives.
A mother’s instinct can never be dismissed. I’m sure perhaps many can agree with this. To ensure the happiness of their child is in check, can be supported in their ways of expressing it, whether it be in their cooking or whether they notice you are giving off sad vibes, their ears are available when need be.
Oma
Loving me isn’t an option for her.
She just does.
She can say what she wants to say to me, however much I retaliate.
Because she can.
No matter how many times I don’t feel understood.
Somehow, in someway, she understands.
She loves putting her soul into food
For oma makes the best food ever.
she makes a cup of tea for me
because she feels like it
she is a warrior of worrying
she can’t help it.
she is a fiery woman keeping her hands warm
from giving limitlessly
to live,
love,
and laugh among
the days we live with her
admire her
for
who
she
beautifully
is.
Happy Mother’s Day Oma x
