This book was written to give a voice to mothers who feel like their only job is to be a good mother to their children and to help heal the mother's psychological childhood wounds. This collection of poems uses some common phrases and feelings that mothers sometimes hold on to. These poems speak to the child within the mother and to the mother's children, to help them both process feelings of hurt, pain, strength, endurance, and perseverance. SACRIFICING I FOR YOU means more than giving of yourself. It also means giving you the things you did not get growing up, that you are now able to provide for your children. Being a mother is a blessing. It is often difficult to find the words to talk to children about your feelings, because you try to protect them. However, by not showing them how to do things the correct way, we do not realize that we are in essence teaching them how to do things the wrong way. These poems will help you to find the words to express and process your feelings in a positive way.
