Motherhood

A state of selflessness
The home of true love
Where compassion lives
The soul that lives for others

The definition of
Sacrifice and selflessness
Where selfishness has no place
The sanctuary of trust

The pillar of our home
The watch of our heritage
The birth of empire
The spring of being

The hand, that takes all blames
For wrongs she knows nothing about
Takes the last dish
At every meal

Sorry motherhood
For the turbulent months
Of heavy tummy
Tears in the theatre

Countless sleepless night
Dancing without a beat
Doss down days
Thank you motherhood

For the solo song and steps
The empathy and sweetness
Of your cuddle hand
And the warmth of your back

Blessing to all sweet mothers!
