I watch you build a bridge for your daughters and your sons,
Day by day you’re teaching them exactly how it’s done.I see you making space for the hard things they might bring,
You’re the sanctuary, the shadow, and the wing.
You never want a wall of fear or judgment in the way,So you listen to the whispers and the things they cannot say.
You tell them that your love won’t shift, it’s anchored in the ground,
And no matter what they choose in life, you’ll always be around.
In every little moment, you’re the safety that they know,
Watching Motherhood become the soil where they grow.
Oh, Motherhood, it’s the deepest kind of grace,
I see it in the way you look upon each little face.
It’s not just in the milestones, it’s the ordinary days,
It’s the quietest way you love them that leaves me in a maze.
Deeper than the ocean, stronger than the stone,
You make sure those children never have to feel alone.
Every single day I find you pausing just to look,
Reading every expression like a holy, sacred book.
Taking in their innocence, the way they move and breathe,
A kind of love so heavy, it’s hard for some to even conceive.
Even on your hardest days when the world is pressing in,
You find the patience and the openness to let the light back in.
You want them to grow up knowing there is always a hand,
Someone who will listen and truly understand.
It overwhelms me in the silence, seeing how you give,
You show them exactly what it means to truly live.
I never knew a heart could stretch to hold this much inside,
A place where all their messy choices never have to hide.
You’ve removed the distance, you’ve taken out the sting,
To you, their safety is the most important thing.
Before the world can judge them, they find your open door, And I’ve never seen a love like this ever before.
Oh, Motherhood, it’s the deepest kind of grace,
I see it in the way you look upon each little face.
It’s not just in the milestones, it’s the ordinary days, It’s the quietest way you love them that leaves me in a maze.
Deeper than the ocean, stronger than the stone,
You make sure those children never have to feel alone.
