You are enough
you are enough when you’re tired
and enough when you’re cross
enough when you’re in chaos
or grieving loss
you’re enough when the TV is on all day
you’re enough when you just don’t want to play
you’re enough when you take your eye off the ball
enough when you crumble
enough when you fall
you’re enough when you hide away from your kids
enough when the hormonal rage bouts hit
you’re enough when you feel guilty or angry or sad
enough when parenting is driving you mad
you’re enough all day long from morning til night
you’re enough when you don’t quite get it right
enough when you’re lonely yet never alone
enough when you’re scrolling too much on your phone
you’re enough because mama you love them so much
you hug them and hold them with words and with touch
you’re enough because you do what you feel is best
enough because you carry on when you need a rest
enough because they know you’ll always be there
enough because of just how much you care
you are enough because you are their biggest cheerleader
enough because you are a storybook reader
you are enough because you are you
and no other mum does it quite like you do
You are enough.
