  I am a Mother. I am a mother! Whether I have one child or many, I am a mother. Whether my children are grown or infants, living or dead, I am a mother.
Whether through birth or c-section, surrogacy or adoption, I am a mother. Nature is energized with the power of Mother Love. Every time I comfort a crying child, Kiss a boo-boo, Brush away tears, Tell my child Yes you can I believe in you You are strong You are special You are loved, Every time I Soothe a crying infant, Comfort a frightened toddler, Soothe a nervous child, Listen to an unhappy teen, I am sending that energy out through the universe.
Every time I hug instead of hit, Speak gently when I want to yell, Give up my sleep, my peace, and sometimes my sanity, And give when I wish I could take, I am helping The Earth to spin, The winds to blow, The tides to ebb and flow, And the spirit of Hope to beat in the heart of Humanity. I am a Mother, And I rule the World. written by, Monniesmom. Posted on Baby Center's Boards on July 2, 2004.
