I carried you in your first home
Where the seeds of hope and love were sown
I waited anxious for your birth cry
Unaware how swiftly time would fly
I have watched you venture further, more
And salved my heart’s pain to its core
I celebrate your every triumph
Loves and losses… even defiance
I direct you through this sea of life
And pray protection from daily strife
All because I carried you in your first home
Where the seeds of hope and love were sown
Happy Mother’s Day from Mothering the Mother
