Mother's Child
April 4, 2014
Fractured features,
Complete her face, and endure her struggles.
She bore me in challenging times,
And raised me to be a whole, a one.
Mother’s child,
Born in stricken times,
Heart broken and poor,
Chained to the bottom of the depths of life.
But as I rise above,
And sail the lapidarian seas,
I reconcile with myself,
For I am mother’s child.
Eleemosynary, veracious, cherished.
Mother’s child, conceived,
In war, and hate and luscious disapproval,
Mistaken, forgotten but worthy,
For I am mother’s child.
