Poem

“Happy Mother's Day” 
it comes around every year; 

but when you have empty arms, 

it's very hard to hear. 

It's a day to celebrate a mother;
for all the trials she overcame; 

and a reminder to an infertile 

of her loneliness and shame. 

But what really makes a mother, 

Is it just conception and birth? 

Or is there something more, 

that shows a mother's worth? 

It's putting your child first, 

in everything you do; 

it's sacrifice and determination, 

and love and patience too. 

An infertile woman makes all her plans, 

around a child not yet conceived; 

she loves them even though they aren't here, 

more than she ever could have believed. 

She appreciates and understands, 

what a blessing that children are; 

she works hard for just a chance, 

that motherhood is not that far. 

All odds are stacked against her, 

and yet she still has hope; 

everyday is another struggle, 

finding ways to help her cope. 

So even though her arms are empty, 

she can still be a mother too; 

So say a special “Happy Mother's Day” 

for those waiting for their dreams to come true!
