Motherhood

You - born with my blood
On your body like a sacrifice
I looked at you breathing, taking
My air into your lungs as you
Occupied my space.

Like the reiteration of sirens
I hear your cries
As I learn to distinct the sounds
I find solitude in your
Wellbeing and your comfort

Taking ownership of your
Existence I give love, shelter
And protection freely and not
Because you need it but
Because you are mine

I am determined to overlook
Our similarities and celebrate
Your differences the ones still
undiscovered, slumbering, waiting.
Surprise me in exchange for love.

With you my life became a journey
Always hoping always setting
New goals, new mile stones to discover
Unexpected obstacles to conquer
And loving every minute of it.

Today after the years, I would do it again
All over without looking back
I would let nature rip you from my
Womb and catapult you out
Into my world to give you love.
