When you love, it goes beyond words.
A simple action would never suffice.
It's an every day choice within the hardest moments,
When you want to raise your voice.

Late in the evening, you may kiss your child's face,
In that moment you apologize.
Promise to do better tomorrow.
Then proceed to close your eyes.

Every mistake feels like a boulder,
The weight hangs just above your head.
It makes you feel unworthy, unjust, not good enough
During the moments you tuck them into bed.

Take a deep breathe in, now let it go.
Forgive yourself mama, today's a bad day.
Don't expect yourself to be inhuman,
No one is perfect in every way.
