Motherhood Is A Choice You Make Every Day

This is a drawing representing a plaque with a painted saying on it.  The plaque is kind of a tan.

The text on the plaque is, "Motherhood is a choice you make every day, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, heart to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the tight thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.  Donna Bell"

The text is in all different colors, fonts, and sizes.

The first line is just the word "Motherhood".  It is bigger than the rest of the text and is in all caps and red.

The second line is "is a choice you make everyday".  The line is in all caps and in green, except the word "you" which is in red.  The font size is half the size of the first line and in the same block font as the first line.

The third line is in all lowercase and a slightly smaller font than line 2.  The text on this line is, "to put someone else's happiness and well-being.

The forth line is, "ahead of your own,".  This line is in cursive and the font size is almost as big as the first line.

The fifth line begins with a big red heart in place of the word heart.  The rest of the line reads, "to teach the hard lessons,".  The heart is the same size as the letters on the first line.  The text on that line is the same size and green color as line two.  Due to the difference in size of the heart and the smaller size of the text it leaves room for the large text about to dangle the f and the y to hang down without interfering with the text on line five.

The sixth line is, "to do the right thing".  It is almost the same font size as line four, but in lowercase printed characters instead of cursive.

The seventh line reads, "even when you're not sure what the right thing is...".  It is the same size as line three.  Both lines are kind of a reddish brown.

The eighth line is, "and to forgive yourself,".    The font is about the same size font as line six, but a thinner font.

The ninth line is, "over and over again,".  It is font size is also about the same as line six, a thicker font.

The tenth line is, "for doing everything wrong.".  The font is green like line two and also the same size, but bolder.

The eleventh line is, "Donna Bell"  I am assuming that is the original author of these words.
