Super Mom

I am no super mom

I used to keep brave

No matter what

I wanted to keep the kids safe

Free from tears

Negativity, regret

Free from harm

Showing only the best I could get

But in the end

I had to pay the price

For keeping tough

Without being wise

My kids now saw the pain

And saw the tears

They saw my humanity

My failings, my fears

Instead of falling off my pedestal

The kids loved me more

Showed me their wits

Warmed my heart to the core

They love me as I am

I now know 

In my weakness

And strength I show

Time after time

They tell me I am the best 

I am a supermom after all

No matter the rest!
