a poem about becoming a hearthmother
at the hearth, where embers glow,
I found a strength I didn't know.
hearthmother journey lit the flame, and called me gently by my name.
in the flicker of firelight, I remembered –
that I am not small,
that I am not broken,
that I am not alone.
the whispers came, soft at first,
like a mother humming to her child:
"you are whole.
you are holy.
you were made for this."
it whispered truth, it taught me trust,
that birth is holy, pure, and just.
that every woman holds the key,
to walk in power, wild and free.
and when I doubted,
the stories rose up around me –
voices of foremothers,
sisters,
midwives of the soul.
they carried me, reminded me:
this strength has always been yours.
this fire has always burned within.
with every story shared light,
in the veil was lifted from my sight.
I saw that what was always mine –
a sacred, ancient, God-designed
the lessons sank into my soul,
a weaving that has made me whole
now I stand, both firm and kind,
with faith and fire intertwined
the hearth became a holy space,
a mimer of God's tender grace.
through laughter, through tears,
through the silence that heals,
I felt His presence drawing near.
and to my sisters, near and far,
I say: remember who you are.
the path was never meant alone,
we gather, rooted, flesh and bone.
for every mother, every birth,
is marked with heaven's endless worth.
and every step along the way,
is blessed by light that will not sway.
together rising, hearths alight,
we claim our wisdom, God's own right.
forever changed, forever free –
hearthmother journey lives in me.
and so I speak these words aloud, like sparks carried into the night sky.
may they land in your heart,
may they remind you of your fire.
for the hearth is not just mine –
It is ours...
It is eternal.
and it burns still.
Stay Wild & Free,
