oh May
so much of
May
has been about
moments
mothering moments
real moments
defining moments
moments of May
this month
has felt momentous
has felt monotonous
like climbing mountains
mountains in the mundane
mountains in each moment
and really
what is in a moment
what makes it a memory
I've never been
more aware of such
moments
until I could see them
in my mothering
these moments
old and new
each shaping you
me
them
me affecting them
them affecting me
the give
the take
the life created
the struggle
the triumph
all in a moment
like music class
milestones
pride
theirs and mine
moment of achievement
mastery
mothering moment
then there were
there are moments
remembered
forever
expressions of love
experiences unforgettable
mothering is rich
textured
gritty
woven with
planned moments
and unexpected experiences
twins
toddler twins
terrible
terrific
TWO's
all aboard
we have arrived
the time is now
triggers
of yesterday's memories
tracks
toward tomorrow
we will continue
chugging along
together
we have each other
grateful
in these moments
mothering moments
