Motherhood.....a glimpse!
When your heart has been punctured a thousand times and you are bleeding from within, when a thousand voices scream inside your head but all you choose is silence, when each pore of your body feels the disgust you are going through but you still choose to stay put, you know you are a MOTHER.
A word so powerful that even God who created it would bow before her and her sacrifices.
When your injuries do not hurt anymore and all you see are those innocent eyes that twinkle when they see you for they know that you are the only one they will reach out to when they are sad or joyful, hungry or in pain. Those tiny hands and feet that may outgrow the mittens and the socks but would never outgrow your laps.
It is for them, we mothers would go to any corner of the world to fetch whatever brings them joy; a flake of snow, a piece of cloud, a splash of the rainbow or a fist clenched with sunshine.
Our lives are changed forever the moment another life blossoms out of us. This phenomenon itself is "Larger than Life".
So, we cannot expect it to be anything close to ordinary. We cry, we complain, and sometimes we just give up! The anger, the frustration and the helplessness can make even the strongest of us go weak in our knees.
At that moment, we look around. We look for somebody who can lift us, lift our spirits, lend a helping hand and affirm that its going to be okay. Things will not be the same 6 months down the lane.
Few words of comfort, a shoulder to rest on, a hot meal or a warm blanket now and then is all we yearn for. Because life blossoms from life....
The joys of motherhood are beyond measure. But, each mother has to accept them with the pains that come along. No mother would barter those pains or the blessing of motherhood for anything in the world.
