Mom Poem : Hour after Humble Hour

Crafts, dishes, countertop flowers

Hour by humble hour

Countertop scenes change

Projection slide after slide

Dinner, love, fire-side laughs

Sprinkle like coffee grounds

and blueberry muffin flour

Hour after humble hour

Granite-top dated slides

Covered in sweet subtitles

and modest movie moments

Poignant and toddler plate poised

while storybook princess sings

Echoes o’er stone-top daisies

in every kitchen film scene

Humble after humble hour

Countertop scenes change

Projection slide after slide

Finely and fondly switch,

flower, and briefly abide

- Brandy Baudoin

... Read moreThis poem, 'Hour after Humble Hour,' has truly resonated with me, capturing the unspoken beauty in the everyday rhythm of being a mother. It's not about grand gestures, but about the quiet, persistent love woven into every minute. When I read about the 'crafts, dishes, countertop flowers,' it instantly brought to mind my own kitchen – the heart of our home, often a beautiful mess, but always full of life. Those 'hour by humble hour' moments are so precious, aren't they? It's in these small, seemingly mundane acts that the deepest connections are forged. From wiping down the 'granite-top dated slides' to preparing meals, these are the 'modest movie moments' that make up the tapestry of our family life. We mothers are constantly creating, nurturing, and observing, often without even realizing the profound impact we're having. I find myself constantly reflecting on how quickly time passes. One day you're setting a 'toddler plate poised' with their favorite snacks, and the next they’re asking for car keys! The poem perfectly captures this fleeting essence, reminding us that these 'projection slide after slide' memories are invaluable. It makes me want to pause more often, to truly see and savor the 'storybook princess sings' moments, even amidst the chaos. For anyone looking for a 'love poem for mom' or just a way to express their feelings, sometimes simply acknowledging these everyday acts of love is the most powerful thing. You don't have to be a poet to capture the essence of your 'children's hour.' Jotting down funny quotes, taking candid photos, or simply telling your 'dear mum' how much you appreciate her tireless efforts can mean the world. It’s about cherishing the present, because 'time is a mother' in how it shapes us and our families, constantly evolving and presenting new, beautiful challenges. This poem is a gentle reminder that our roles as mothers are filled with countless small, yet significant, acts of love. It’s in these 'humble hours' that the magic truly happens, creating memories that will last a lifetime. What are some of your favorite 'humble hour' moments?

Humble Women Hold Quiet Power🤍
🌿 You don’t have to shrink to be humble. You don’t have to shout to be seen. A woman rooted in herself doesn’t rush to prove anything. She listens more than she explains. She moves with quiet clarity. She doesn’t compete she just is. There’s a calm strength in her presence. Not loud. No

🌿 HUMBLE YOURSELF 🌿
In a world that praises pride and self-promotion, humility often feels overlooked. But true strength isn’t found in boasting or proving yourself—it’s in knowing when to stay silent, when to listen, and when to let God lead. Humility is recognizing that we don’t have all the answers, but we serve
