Oh how I wish you could see from her eyes the way she looks at you, the way every move you make mesmerizes her, the way you cannot enter into her space without her knowing as she feels your presence without you ever touching her.
Oh how I wish you could see the trust she has in you not because you are perfect but because you are perfectly hers.
Oh how I wish you could see how even in the moments of your frustration she knows still she is safe in your arms as she cries out in her frustration too.
Oh how I wish you could see that the very essence of who she is trusts you in the midst of chaos and moves with you through the exhaustion of the day.
Oh how I wish you could see how much patience you truly have even though you feel you have none.
Oh how I wish you could see the connection she has with you, an unspoken sense of understanding that she developed as she grew inside you.
Oh how I wish you could see how brave you are every day looking after this fragile life while a numbness from the life you lost still hangs in the air.
Oh how I wish you could see how glorious it is for me to see you with her, watching life unfold for her the way I wish it could have unfolded for you.
Oh how I wish you could see what an incredible mother you are.
Oh how I wish you could see that the love she has for you is never ending, never failing and everlasting.
Oh how I wish you could see......
God I pray for each mother in the world who is tired, frustrated, numb, confused and exhausted. God wrap them in your arms and remind them that you long to be the place they fall to find rest. In Jesus name, Amen.
