This is for the mom

by Kate Grasso on May 07, 2021

This is for the mom who can’t remember the last time she slept or ate or showered

The mom who has found, mended, folded, and cleaned over and over again

This is for the mom who feels both invisible and endlessly needed at the same time

For the mom who is pacing the floor for hours with a baby who won’t sleep

And the mom who is trying to hold everything together while the world falls apart

This is for the mom who is weary but still working

Who is prays desperate prayers each day

Who is learning how to let go of her grown children.

This is for the mom who is struggling with being a mom

Who keeps a careful mask in place

And the mom who is learning how to be a mom without her mom.

This is for the mom who cries next to the child she doesn’t know how to help

The mom who carries the weight of balancing it all

And the mom who is a mom in her heart but whose arms are empty.

This is for the mom who feels lost

Alone

Exhausted

Worn out 

Worn down

Hopeless

This is for the moms who need the reminder that

You are seen.

You are needed

You are loved

You are anointed.

You are enough.

Author's note: Each line from this spoken word comes directly from conversations I have had with other moms at Cove Church. Being a mom is unbelievably hard in this season. If you know a mom (any mom!), please thank her and let her know that she is seen. She probably needs it more than you know.
