From One Mom to a Mother Quotes

“For I was your sun, the only warmth you needed before you saw a sunrise with your own eyes.
I was your star, before they dusted across your gaze with possibility and wonder.
I was your moon, your only pull, before you noticed the comforting light in the nights blanket.
I was your universe for such a short while, until you saw there was so much more.
But I will always be the earth, your roots grew here.
And you will always be my world.”
― Jessica Urlichs, From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms

“I want to tell you everything I know,
carry you and guide you.
Yet somehow,
as your tiny finger points to things in wonder
and your eyes meet mine,
the paradigm shifts.
I once thought I was to show you the world,
when all along you came to show me.”
― Jessica Urlichs, From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms

Especially, when she loses her footing.”

“When I entered motherhood I walked through a little door, 'This Is Motherhood' it read.
Everyone sat there in stripey tops
Exchanging pleasantries.
Things scattered all over the floor
Bags over flowing
Nervous smiles
Connected by motherhood
Disconnected by unspoken truths
Then someone said, "I love being a Mum,
but this is also really hard".
Then suddenly I didn't feel alone anymore.”
― Jessica Urlichs, From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms

“Motherhood isn't a typical love story, it's the raw unedited version with all the outtakes, which is what makes it the most beautiful love story of all”
― Jessica Urlichs, From One Mom to a Mother: Poetry & Momisms
