Motherhood

Drenched in awakening
From some kind of womb
Where life had only been imagined
From inside the room

Bright lights
Time for a debut
Enter the outside world
To a new view

Mother and father
And whoever else cares
Trying those lungs out
As they begin to stare

Let’s hope they find you beautiful
And able to properly care
To provide you with nurturance
And a life that is fair

May your parents be there for you
Tragedy and drama free
Able to put their needs aside
To be there for thee
