Our Moms
You start noticing it more as you get older.
How some people just hold things together.
Birthdays remembered.
The right food in the fridge.
Someone checking you got home.
The extra plate already on the table.
It’s not planned.
It’s just how they are.
And most of the time,
it’s been there all along.
Mother’s Day isn’t really about changing anything.
It’s just a pause.
A moment to turn up with something,
instead of being the one who’s always handed things.
Nothing overthought.
Nothing formal.
Just a small handover,
and the day carries on.
Same same. But better.
