Motherhood

You are a little wonder

maybe you weren't here

somewhere else before

and then you came anyway

Brought me closer

you drew me in

helpless from the start

no knowledge but I knew you

From what's outside

I protect you

keep inside

I love you, child

And all my doubts

and fears go unanswered

until I find them

for you alone

I raise you

so you may always walk

these paths, not alone

I am beside you

Always
