a mother glows
a mother glows
a mother gets sick
a mother swells
a mother dances about
a mother waddles
a mother wails
a mother dotes
how precious the hands!
how sweet the toes!
how frightening the wails,
how lovely the cradling….
a mother loves
a mother helps
a mother waits
a mother tries
to be redundant
to be unneeded
to be heartbroken
to be older
to be a mother
to be a lover
to be chosen
to be blessed
to love
to leave
to live
