“Seen, Known, Held” — A Mother’s Day Poem
On this day of flowers and full tables,
of laughter wrapped in memory,
we pause—
not just for one story of motherhood,
but for every sacred, hidden thread
woven through a woman’s heart.
For the ones who cradle children in their arms,
and the ones who cradle dreams that never came—
you are not forgotten.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18)
For the ones who have whispered lullabies
through tears no one else could hear,
who have known the silence of loss—
your love did not disappear.
It echoes in eternity.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes.” (Revelation 21:4)
For the ones who let go—
placing a child into another’s arms
with trembling courage and fierce love—
heaven saw that moment.
“Love is patient, love is kind… it always protects.” (1 Corinthians 13:4,7)
For the women who grew up without a mother’s embrace,
or whose relationships carry distance or pain—
God Himself has leaned in closer.
“As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you.” (Isaiah 66:13)
For the spiritual mothers,
who have poured wisdom, prayer, and presence
into souls hungry for guidance—
you have birthed life in places unseen.
“Her children arise and call her blessed.” (Proverbs 31:28)
For the women who stepped in,
who said “I will” when they didn’t have to,
who became home for someone who needed one—
you reflect the heart of a Father
who adopts, restores, and redeems.
“God sets the lonely in families.” (Psalm 68:6)
And for every woman—
whether your motherhood is visible or hidden,
joyful or aching, chosen or unexpected—
you carry something sacred.
Strength.
Compassion.
Endurance.
A reflection of the One who formed you.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.” (Proverbs 31:25)
Today is not just about what was,
or what could have been—
it is about who you are.
Seen.
Known.
Held.
By a God who calls you His own,
who gathers every story into His hands
and calls it beautiful.
Happy Mother’s Day. 🌸

Grow Daily or Die Gradually
This is the key to a closer, growing, more intimate relationship with God; which He desires with us us more than we can comprehend. Ask yourself daily: Am I teachable? Am I thankful? Am I humble? Do I thirst and hunger for His righteousness? Am I growing daily or am I dying gradually?
