I am the momma

I can be a ten man cheering squad if the need arises.  I can stand beside you, or behind you, anywhere but in front of you!  But I won't think twice about standing between you and danger.

My arms never get tired holding you, whether it is up, or out, or just cuddling you in the quiet.

I am not afraid to tell you the truth, but it breaks my heart when you are sad.

I want to lead you in the right direction, but I never want to lead you wrong.  I want you to be strong and independent.  I want the whole wide world to know just how wonderful you are!

When you step out on your own I am confident of your abilities.  My job then is only to step out of the way and let you go.  That's what love does.

And if mommas are anything, it is mostly love.
