I see how easy it is
To place the label
Of courage on
The spectacular.
Easy because those
Moments make headlines
And turn heads.
Yet, when I see a mother
Successfully navigating the
Malleable and challenging
Terrain of two or three children,
I shift my awe to her.
This everyday hero
Is clearly
Courageous.
I doubt that there will
Be headlines, but I know
She deserves a nod from us.
May she accept this
Affirmation of her
Courage.

Hi Stan,
I am a mother of five kids, and I feel this poem completely. Thank you so dearly for sharing.
It’s a tiny favor by comparison with what you did and gave by raising five children.
Thanks for dropping by again, Jerneal! Always good to hear from you.
