Today's poem: My name is Mother

My name is Mother

Imagine I have five kids
I learn as they grow

Each one
Is a different fruit

My love goes under
A test

Seeing each one
Opening his or her

Own country
Some picking flags of love
Some picking flags of upsets

Bringing them together
Has not always been easy

But as they turn into parents
My shoes are better understood

Their shoes begin to hug a universe
Of Our Creator
