100 Words: Protection
In a cocoon, to be wrapped
Within a strong, silky embrace
Forgetting about the worries of the world
And all the challenges faced
Her main goal is protection
Through guidance, pattern, and prayer
Allowing mistakes to be learned from
Making sure to take care
Though there is constant fear, worry, and doubt
Her maternal instinct does truly hasten
As faith is embraced, projected, and reflected
On to the precious children
Swaddled baby, enveloped child
They will each break free and take flight, all on their own
While a mother sits and continuously questions
Making her steadfast and unwavering vigil known

Wow again, Mishi. Wow. So powerful.
I left some bling for you on my blog. Actually, bling x2 because I couldn’t decide between here and your photography blog.

Lovely, Mishi, just lovely. You never cease to amaze me.

Oh Mishi, powerful indeed. You’ve captured so well the vigilance of the mother’s protection. It is a force all its own and we are merely the vessel.

Yep, what VV said.
This truly is one of those things you don’t understand until you’re a mother, yourself. Even now, with two kids in elementary school, I have a hard time believing it’s real — until I find myself right there, thinking these things.
