You're Doing it Right

You’re Doing it Right is a poem dedicated to every woman who struggles with feeling inadequate in motherhood.

The dishes are stacked high,

The bottles left unsanitized,

The house a complete mess,

The laundry a wreck,

Holding your child tight,

While rocking through the night,

The days creeping…sigh,

But the years flying by,

Your hair messily piled high,

And feeling overwhelmed you start to cry,

Wrestling with feelings of inadequacy,

While overcoming other’s shaming tendencies,

Giving it more than your all,

Not one sacrifice is small,

Because Mama, your love is much needed,

And in you, your child’s heart completed.

So when you question if it’s enough,

Because this motherhood thing is so tough, remember
