Children are born with the need to be loved and never outgrows it.
I started to reflect on the magnitude of what it means to be a mother. I thought about all of the women who take on the role with such strength, selflessness, and grace. I thought about how incredible it is—this unconditional love that a mother feels for her child. She gives of herself in so many ways and never stops giving her love, energy, and support to her children.
I wanted to share some poems that have touched my heart that truly celebrate what it means to experience motherhood, to be inspired by our mothers, and to appreciate motherhood in all of its forms.
“MOTHER,” NIKITA GILL
The water of her womb, your first home.
The body she pulled apart to welcome you to the world.
The spirit in you she helped grow with all she knew.
The heart that she gave you when yours fell apart.
You are her soft miracle.
So she gave you her eyes to see the best in the worst.
You carry your mother in your eyes.
Make her proud of all she watches you do.
This poem illustrates so beautifully the loving and giving nature of a woman. Our mothers provide us with our first home, they give us their hearts and their love, and we carry them with us forever. I especially love the last two lines of this piece. A mother’s love can be an eternal gift to us. No matter what happens, they are with us always in the things we do and the decisions we make. They are there in spirit and their love transcends the physical to guide us always.
Our mission here at Mother’s Nest is to embody the love mothers has for our children. We craft clean and honest jewelry that will create memories for a lifetime. A beautiful gift for your beautiful little ones.
