For all you do
For all you carry
For the mental load
For doing it alone
—With help but without a person
For putting them first
For holding off on you
For giving more than you get
For the struggle that made you stronger
For surviving
For being in a club you didn’t ask to join
— knowing that only those in it could fully
understand
For the grief
For the exhaustion
For the tears
For all of it
There is joy
Joy for your strength
There is gratefulness
Gratefulness for your determination
There is love
A special love from your children
There is an unmistakable bond
A bond of warriors
There is celebration
Celebration for the humans your children are growing into
You have pushed forward
Feeling alone
But not alone
You have survived
Sometimes in darkness
Sometimes in light
You have had faith
Through prayer
And through sorrow
You found beauty
In the cracks
In the repair
Through the healing
You have done your part
And God has worked and continues
To do His part
Never leaving you alone
Never forgetting you
Always believing in you
Always providing strength
Always and forever loving you
Wrapping you and your own in kindness
And holding you all tight to His heart
What He started He will finish
And you and your own will continue to be better for it.
