They Bloom Because of You Poetry by Jessica Urlichs

By Jessica Urlichs 

"Jess Urlichs manages to take the little bits of motherhood that very few acknowledge and serve them up in beautiful poetry." —  Giovanna Fletcher, Actress and author

A deeply moving collection of poetry that honours the evolving journey of motherhood.

In this beautifully written collection, Jessica Urlichs reflects on the quiet, powerful transformation that happens as we grow alongside our children. These poems capture both the fleeting nature of childhood and the enduring impact of mothering - the love, the sacrifice, the growth, and the becoming.

Her words feel like a steady companion - offering comfort in the hard moments and helping you pause to notice the beauty woven through everyday life.

Whether you’ve followed her work for years or are discovering it for the first time, this collection invites you to feel seen, held, and deeply connected to your own journey.

How you might use this book:

• Read slowly, a poem at a time, allowing space to reflect and feel.
• Return to it in different seasons of parenting - it will meet you in new ways each time.
• Gift it to a mother in your life as a reminder of the quiet, powerful work she does every day.
