Mags: "I spy with my little eye a Mama bird in her nest."
It took me a minute, but I found her and snapped a picture. When I looked at the picture, I thought about how it really summed up motherhood across the species.
Nurturing
Selfless
Comforting
Loving
And she'll peck your face off if you get too
close to take a picture of her nest.
Yep. That's a mom for ya!

I don't doubt it for a second. Can you believe I was once attacked by a mother goose when I walked past her and her baby goslings? She flew at me and pecked my cranium. I kid you not. My husband and son still tease me about it. Because they sat and watched the whole pitiful display. Maybe this explains my aversion to nursery rhymes...
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to a friend about this yesterday. She was unwilling to say anything about a situation her son was in. I told her she had to be the Mama Bear (or in this case - bird) and stick up for her son. I love this analogy. Not always easy for us humans.
ReplyDeleteI never knew I had those emotions inside me until I had the boys, and now I know that I would die for them, I would hurt anyone who hurt them.
ReplyDeleteit's the nature of love, to protect, cherish and peck. ;)
hope your Mother's Day was amazing!
