As a mother, I carry more than what I can hold.

We carry lots of loads as mothers.

We carry our children.
No matter their age,
we’ll always pick them up.
They reach. They ask. We hold.

We carry their emotions,
And our own emotions too.
We carry their love.
And their trust.
We carry that with a lock and key.
We are their safe space.
That carry can at times become heavy,
but we bear it.

We carry our thoughts.
The endless to-do lists and “wait I’m
forgetting something” conversations
we have with ourselves.
We carry the school schedules and sports
schedules and other activities schedules
and every schedule we have organized in
multiple places in multiple formats.

  1. Mothers carry innumerable loads unlike anybody else even unlike father's.Now we feel you are to shoulder the kid's school going load as this is high time for them to attend school as we did during your time.
