She is a mother - by: Fultank

Lies the gift of birth in her

She, the soul handover of love

Love ever triumphant and conquering

Ever daring beyond a naked human barrier

Past reasoning

She is the tenderiser to a man’s heart

She is a mother


An African pot upright on her three legged feet

On life’s burning coals

When men’s boldness lacks fuel injection

And have lost the struggles

In the hot steamy kitchens

Her hope within springs to curse

Tomorrow’s woes from her heart

That as long as this powerful plays resumes

In her daily bisexual positions

Charging at life dressed in slacks

Sons and daughters spirits shall be fed

A lasting privilege,

Love


That leaves a soul marveling

Whether a home can be a home

Whether a child can find solace

In between the ruthless world

Can this path be tender?

When she has descended to the silent world

And there is none to equal

Or to play in her fit less shoes

She is a mother
