Happy Mother’s Day to all moms, but especially our own and our readers. This week’s Picture it & Write is for you.

Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation). Anyone who wants to join in, is welcome. This photograph will be reblogged under Ermisenda on tumblr and added to the Picture it & Write gallery on Facebook and Pinterest.

Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.

“You can’t be really happy unless you’re unhappy sometimes.” –Delirium

Who knows this better than mothers? To let the giggles reach your heart, to have your children turn to you in times of joy, you must also kiss the tears away. You must work through the “I hate you” that comes with slammed doors.

Love means opening yourself up to pain and heartbreak. It’s calculated vulnerability. You do your best to raise them and someday you have to watch them make their own way in the world.

–Eliabeth Hawthorne

Picture by Mihai Tamasila

Your arms were always open, even when I wronged you.
You gave me life, you gave me air, even when I hurt you.
You never discouraged me, never dragged me down.
You perform little miracles every day,
Even when people are hacking away at you.
I wish for your strength, your patience, and your resilience.
Someday I will stop taking you for granted. 

Happy Mother’s Day Mom.
Happy Mother’s Day Mother Nature. 

– Eliabeth Hawthorne

Ermisenda was kind enough to let me write something this week for Mother’s Day (anyone who forgot, you better go call your mom now *stern face*).
