Daughters
Sometimes, often really,
I can’t remember not being
a mother. Who was I?
I know I had similar views
of the world, what matters,
what I wanted to be.
Compared to being a mother,
my dreams were small,
somewhat shallow.
My world expanded four
times its original size.
My vision, all my senses
intensified with each
daughter who came
through me.
I am more because you
created me, the one
you call mother.

This is beautiful and I think something all mothers wonder – who was I before, and who would I have been without, my kids. Great work.
Thank you! My heart walks around the world in the form of my four daughters and I can only sit back in wonder at what the world will learn from them. They have been profound teachers without fully knowing the light they bring me each day, just knowing they are wandering the earth.
