Happy Mothers Day! {ny - long island child photographer}

I came across this poem shortly after my girls were born. I do not know who wrote it but I wanted to share it with all of you.

Mom, Now that I'm a Mother

Until I became a Mother,
I did not understand,
The profound sense of love,
In a Mother's heart and hands.

As I whisper, "Mommy loves you",
I rock my precious child to sleep.
Small perfection in my arms,
Sweet breaths, slow and deep.

I now see me as a baby,
You're rocking me to sleep.
You whisper, "Mommy loves you,
My heart is yours to keep."

At last I recognize your love,
As a Mother I now see.
As I hold and love my child,
You feel that love for me.

I will always be your baby,
Despite the years that pass.
You have given me my life,
And a Mother's heart to last.

The greatest thanks I can offer,
More than words can ever say.
Is to give my child the love,
You gave me everyday.

I wish my own mom, my mother in law, my sister, friends and family and all the wonderful and amazing moms out there the most memorable Mother's Day yet!

She who forms the souls of the young is greater than any painter or sculptor.
- Saint John Chrysostom
Archbishop of Constantinople
C 347-407
