That's not me

You see that mother taking her children to the park? That’s not me
You see that mother holding their child’s hand as they walk? That’s not me
You see that mother smiling at her baby in the stroller? That’s not me
You see that mother conscientiously watching as her child walks into the school gate? That’s not me

You see that mother?
I see her too but I’m me and this is what I do....

I’m the mother who watches her child play a sport they enjoy,
I’m the mother running after her son, calling out “stop”, “come back”,
I’m the mother waiting in the specialist’s waiting room, holding, cuddling her child when he is sick,
I’m the mother reading a story to her child – no one sees that,
I’m the mother trying to make ends meet or sticking tightly to a budget – no one would know that,
I’m the mother trying to make sense of it all,
I’m the mother trying to find the reason behind it all,
I’m A mother and this is what I do ......

What do you do that defies belief, seems insignificant, takes time, takes patience, understanding, but You Do it?
