A Mother’s Secret
by Melody Green
I will let you in on a Mother’s Secret
No matter how hard we tried to be good mothers
We all know we’ve failed our children in some ways
Many of you have wonderful memories
And you look back at your childhood fondly
We like to hear all those stories anytime of the year
But especially on Mother’s Day
We need to hear you say how much you love us
And that you’re grateful God gave you to us
Because most of us moms carry some weight of guilt
We know we are imperfect and flawed…
Some of us were too selfish to meet all your needs
Many of us just didn’t know how
Often there were bad circumstances beyond our control
There are some things we will never tell you or burden you with
But if you want to know something just ask
Now that you are older “we just might” tell you more
Some of us were totally unprepared for being a mom
Or didn’t have the kind of support we needed
Or worked very long hours and took our problems out on you
Sometimes in unjust ways
We have no excuse for so many things…
But we are extremely sorry for times we hurt you
And for any way we neglected or harmed you
And ask for, and deeply desire, your forgiveness
We would still lay down our life for you
You are the joy and light of our lives
If we knew before what we know now
We’d do a lot of things differently
Time can’t be unraveled
God is good. He restores.
But one thing is for certain…
We would’ve played with you lots
Lots more.
