Mother

To my daughter: This was the moment I found out that my body held more than just my heart.

The sun kissed my face,

its light pulling me from sleep.

Warmth wrapped around me—

as if God Himself pressed against me,

holding me close in a Father’s embrace.

Something was different.

This touch was new.

For months, the waiting had felt like winter,

prayers dissolving into the quiet sky,

hope thinning beneath the weight of not yet.

My womb ached in places only faith could reach.

But this morning, the frost melted.

I rose from my bed,

toes meeting the ground—

but I was not the woman

who had laid her head to rest the night before.

Bold black letters spanned across a stick.

My eyes met the truth

my soul had already known.

And in that moment, I understood—

the warmth I woke to

was a whisper, a welcome,

a congratulations from the One

who had been holding us both all along.

Before I carried you in my womb,

I carried you in my prayers.

And before I named you,

He named me—

Mother

Born Together: Two Hearts, One Journey

A Poetry Series Of A Mother’s Journey For Her Daughters Remembrance

Some moments in life shape us so profoundly that we are never the same again. Motherhood was that moment for me.

I remember the morning my world shifted—the moment I discovered I was pregnant. I was going to be a mother. It was a quiet yet monumental moment, filled with emotions too vast to capture in a single breath. From that day forward, my life became a journey of not only growing my child inside of me but growing into the mother she would need.

The Legacy I Am Leaving

This series, "Born Together: Two Hearts, One Journey," is my love letter to my daughter. Through poetry, I will capture the journey from when I discovered her to the toddler she is today, and beyond. This series will grow as she does.

This is more than a collection of words—it is a safekeeping of our story, an intimate and vulnerable look into the thoughts and feelings that shaped me as I became a mother.

One day, when she is older, she will read these poems and know that she was loved deeply, fiercely, and completely. She will also get a deeper insight into how I grew as her mom.

I want to remember who I was, how I grew, who she was, and how she grew. I want the flow of my words to carry on far past me and be a collection of love for my daughter.

Mamma, This Series Is Also For You!

But this series is not just for her—it is also for every mother who has ever carried love in her womb, in her arms, in her prayers. I want to encourage mothers who want to preserve the sacred moments, to create a keepsake of their own, a story their children can hold onto long after tiny hands have outgrown theirs.

I invite you, fellow mothers, to walk this journey with me into my world of motherhood.

I also encourage you to write your own story. To document the moments, the emotions, and the growth—both yours and theirs.

Because the truth is, we were never just raising them.

We were growing, too.

The Heart of a Mother, The Soul of a Writer

Why I Write My Motherhood Journey

I write to capture the unforgettable moments of my motherhood journey. Writing is my creative outlet as well as my way to keep a part of me alive on paper. I like to add a twist to my writing by creating poems, short stories, or narratives that encapsulate what I felt like at the time.

Motherhood is an ever-evolving tapestry of emotions, challenges, and triumphs. Each day brings new moments that shape not just my daughter, but me as well. Writing allows me to document these fleeting moments—to preserve them beyond the hazy blur of time. Every giggle, every tear, every milestone deserves a place in my story. It’s not just about keeping memories; it’s about honoring them.

A Legacy of Love in Words

There’s something sacred about leaving behind pieces of myself in written form. One day, when my children are older, I want them to have more than just pictures and home videos—I want them to have my thoughts, my feelings, my reflections on the journey of raising them. I want them to know the depth of my love, the lessons I’ve learned, and the ways in which they’ve shaped me into the woman I am today.

There is a beauty to the art of poetry. I find myself falling into its design often. Sometimes, to best capture a moment, a feeling, or event, all I need is 10-20 lines. It is also a challenge that I seek after: detailing a complete thought in a short poem. I love it. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Blending Creativity and Memory-Keeping

For me, storytelling isn’t just a practice—it’s a passion. I intertwine poetry, short stories, and heartfelt reflections to bring my experiences to life in a way that resonates deeply. Writing is my refuge, my therapy, my space to process the beauty and complexity of motherhood. Through creative expression, I give voice to the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with raising little humans.

Inviting You Into My Story

This is not just my journey—it’s ours. Through my words, I hope you’ll find a kindred spirit. I hope you’ll feel seen, inspired, and empowered to create your own legacy of love for your family. Through my stories, I invite you to walk this journey with me.

If you, too, feel the pull to document your motherhood experience, I encourage you to do so. Whether through journaling, storytelling, or poetry, let your words become a gift to your children and a source of comfort to yourself. Motherhood is a story worth telling, and I’m honored to share mine with you.
