On Motherhood

a poem bouquet

I’m a mother to a wonderful toddler which (besides being fun, sweet, and sometimes hard) means I’ve written my fair share of poems on or about motherhood. So, I thought it’d be a neat idea to compile some of those below. A poem bouquet of sorts. Feel free to pick a “flower” for yourself or for a mother you love. I hope some of these words bring you comfort and joy today and I’d love to know which “flower” spoke to you!
