Take Heart Mommies Everywhere! Here is the Joy of Motherhood Returned.

My sweet daughter wrote this.

So, I write this post for all you mommies everywhere.

Don't fret for the small stuff, mommies, everywhere. In due time, you WILL see. Don't fret for the big things either, when the way seems hard to find. Your day glorious, on the horizon will fly. How does it somehow come to be? Though you may not see it now, be sure. Everything always turns out way better than you could believe.

Just look at those amazing ones that came from your own womb. Nurture them with your gift of love, then more sure than any guarantee, you will see that love come back someday when you may least expect, or maybe later, every day, in some very special little way.

Your little ones will grow, go off and on their own, but surely as the sun does shine, that day will one day come, when in the distant sunset glow you see your bird come gliding back with gifts of love and life for you. And then the Joy within your heart will overflow its borders. Oh, how wonderous, how glorious this life of love we have!

So, paint you picture, mommies, everywhere, with love. Paint it, too, with hope, though hope is really small, for surely as the sun does rise, will come clear victory. And even greater and more true and sure as sure can be, the Joy of Life will come to you and be your masterpiece.
