To all who mother this day in myriad ways, may your love be seen in all its shimmering beauty.
For all those who long to be mothers, may your dreams of a child come true;
For those mammies who try not to cry at her sick child’s bedside, may there be healing;
For those women, whose dreams of being a mother are long gone but still feel the pangs of what might have been, may other dreams take hold and your nurturing light shine brightly in this dark world.
For those who heard a heartbeat only for it to grow silent, may you be comforted;
For those whose mothers have left this earth, may you feel the infinite love of the universe this day;
For the mammies whose children were taken too soon, may you be held close in the arms of mother earth this day and feel her love for you.
For the mothers of Gaza, may our strength be yours this day.
