A Call to Mothering.
A Call to Joy,
A Called
Which confounds
The Wise
Which confounds
The mentality
Of our Western Society.
I too was
Surprised to discover
life and joy in the ordinary.
I was frantic..
Was I pregnant
yet again?
Then,
The unexpected.
blanket of peace
Wrapped around me.
Suddenly,
Joy,
Light,
Laughter
Within.
I heard words
In my heart;
“This is you call.
This is your vocation.
This is you witness to the world.”
Confusion.
“People don’t understand
I look foolish.”
A whispered answer,
“You will be a witness to
Life and Joy.”
I said,
“Yes”
To Life
And
Discovered

“I was frantic..
Was I pregnant yet again?” I can totally relate! That eventual feeling of peace would come at a time when I least expected it; usually when things were hectic, I was tired and finally submitted “Lord, I can’t do this.” In that moment, He let me know that everything would be OK. Beautiful poem, Melanie. Thank you.
