Boundless
Boundless
A mother’s love
Bottomless emptying into babe
Pouring forth into human
Adulting. Toddler. Infant. Mine.
Mirroring countless devotions
Not enough smiles.
Too many tears
On faces memorized
Mesmerizing. Mine.
Worried over in wasted time
Love. The word incapable
Depths unfathomable reached
Trials. tempered and tested
Theory in play daily
Tasked to be all and still more
And also less than is needed
Or required
Is required
To be made small and feel ferocious
Protective mama bearing her young
Harried hastened forgetful
All within an hour in her kitchen
At her desk. On her date. Still
Never ending the career
Each mother shapes
Into her making
If ill equipped to hang a moon
She scales the sky
Angles the stars to shine
On her children
On the children
Warmth radiating from
The fierce furnace of a Mother’s heart
