October 14
A day that brought change
irrevocably, transcendentally
in ways unimaginable
to me, to my life
to my soul
A day that brought fear
As I looked in your eyes
The very first time
How do I do this?
How is it possible
to be responsible
for another human life?
I know nothing!
I’m a mess
What if I mess you up?
What if you hate me because of it?
A day that brought understanding
of what Love truly is
and is not
It has nothing to do with
a feeling
and everything to do with
a state of being
Of giving all of myself, but
A day of understanding
My state of being and of giving is
Not nearly enough
Not nearly enough time
Not nearly enough wisdom
Not nearly enough hope
Not nearly enough understanding
Not nearly enough humor
Not nearly enough strength
Not nearly enough compassion
Not nearly enough kindness
But, coming also to understand
That even though I alone am not
Nearly enough
Together we have
All that is needed
to make everything
More than enough
The day you taught me
To step outside my self-centered bubble
And see the oneness of life
The day you taught me
How to be more fully everything
Not just for myself
But for everyone I love
Thank you for choosing me
to be your mother
