The Mirror and The Map

We are the mirrors
Reflecting storms and sunrise
In our children’s eyes.

We are the maps
Tracing paths through meltdowns,
Milestones, midnight prayers.

We carry the weight of wonder,
The ache of not knowing,
The joy of one small word
After months of silence.

This space is for you—
The parent who stays,
Who learns,
Who feels deeply
And keeps showing up.

Your big feelings matter too.

Let’s name them,
Honor them,
Grow through them—
Together.
