On Mother’s Day, we at Unboxed Writers share a simple but deeply emotional poem written by a mother on her young daughter’s Facebook Wall…

I can’t give solutions to all of life’s problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for answers.

I can’t change your past with all its heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can’t keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask…
Lubna is a housewife and a very spiritual person who mothers everyone but has never let her daughter Natascha and son Moin feel that they are sharing her with the world.
