Yes, you rock mother. You are amazing.
But we also automatically rock when we hold a baby, don’t we? In fact, do you rock even when you are not holding a baby? Once you have experienced motherhood it becomes part of who you are, doesn't it? It think it’s built within us mothers to rock.
I have always believed that every mother should have a rocking chair. It is part of mothering and should be part of every baby's life. Even though my children have grown, I still rock. I rock when I hold a baby and I rock when I am not holding a baby! And I have to admit I sway whenever I am standing. I'm marked for life with rocking!
Keep on rocking, mother. You are a rocker.
I love these words from this poem . . .
She rocked me as a little tyke
I happily recall,
In winter, summer, autumn, spring,
And never let me fall.
I've gotten where I am (and here's
A psychiatric shocker!)
Because I had a mother who
Was seldom off her rocker!
Love to you today from your fellow rocker,
Nancy Campbell
