Birth of a mother

Jan 11 1:30 pm

Living life on her terms,

With never a backward glance...

By the child's arrival awakened,

Shaken  out of her lifelong trance!

Birthing hopes,  braving fears,

She fearfully fearless grows...

All fragments of the treasured past,

To the passing winds she throws!

She pines for peace of maidenhood 

A peace for ever lost...

To find new pastures tranquil more,

And mighty  is the cost...

A heavy heart, sleep laden eyes,

Pains unrelieved,  a tale untold!

It is the death of a fragile lass,

It is the birth of a woman bold!  

The fevered, old loves fall away,

Quick, blasted, torn, thick and fast!

As love the much used empty term,

Laughs hardest and the last...

Sacrifice - too pale a word,

For her giddy joys, for her hopes forlorn
Having given all, she gives again,

And then, yes then is a mother born!
