tenderly, tenderly
i wanted to write
something
that would capture
everything
you are and have
been for me, but
for the first time in my life,
words fail me. how
can i put words to
the embrace that melts
fear, the rough-fingered hands
that are infinitely gentle, tenderly
guiding me as a child, as a
woman. how
can i name the wisdom,
the skill, the voice
reading to me, soothing-
the womb that carried me, when i
was as of yet unknown, unformed,
a mere possibility. how
can i define the heart
that always has room for more, the
home i have for always? because
a mother is so much more
than words can say, and
you
are mine.
they ask what a mother is
to me. as if i could say
in a sentence. i've found, though,
what most rings true
is that 'mother' means
a resting place for children's
hearts
[and those never age]
Thank you. I would never know the amazing woman you are without your love and the sacrifices you've made for me. We don't get to choose who our mothers are, but if I could pick, it would always be you.
