When Mothers Fall

They rise before the light appears,
With steady hands and sleepless years,
They gather broken things and mend,
They hold the weight, again, again.

Their voices soothe, their arms defend,
They shape the world their children bend,
They hide their ache behind a smile,
And walk alone that extra mile.

But strength is not a constant flame,
It flickers soft, and dims with pain.
Even the fiercest hearts can tire,
Even the brave lose heat and fire.

Sometimes she weeps when no one sees,
Behind the door, down on her knees.
Sometimes she cannot bear the load,
And stumbles on the well-worn road.

Her silence shouts what words cannot,
That she is strong—except when not.
And in those times she needs to lean,
To be held up, to be seen.

So take her hand when hers feels weak,
Stand close and let compassion speak.
She is the root, the flame, the core—
But even mothers need support.

Not every fall is loss or shame,
It’s part of love’s enduring flame.
To be so strong, and still be real,
To let herself be helped, and heal.

Cuando la Madre Cae

Ella despierta antes del sol,
con manos firmes, sin control.
Recoge sueños, cura el mal,
y da su todo, sin final.

Su voz consuela, su piel abriga,
con cada gesto, el miedo mitiga.
Guarda su llanto tras la risa,
y enfrenta el día sin prisa.

Pero la fuerza se desgasta,
el alma tiembla, se desgaja.
Hasta la madre más valiente
se rompe a veces, silenciosamente.

Llora en rincones sin testigos,
con sus dolores por abrigo.
Y aunque parezca que todo da,
también hay noches sin piedad.

No siempre puede con el peso,
no siempre halla su progreso.
Aunque lo oculte por amor,
ella también siente dolor.

Cuando su mundo se desploma,
no necesita más diplomas.
Solo un abrazo, una presencia,
que honre su frágil resistencia.

Porque ser madre no es no caer,
es saber cuándo ceder.
Es dar, amar, y en su andar,
también dejarse cuidar.

Happy Mother’s Day to Scam Survivors Everywhere

Feliz Día de la Madre a las Sobrevivientes de Estafas en Todo el Mundo
