Poem: For the Other Mothers

Dedication: This poem is dedicated to all the mothers in Canada, India, and St. Vincent and The Grenadines currently experiencing adverse conditions.

This is a balm, 

or maybe a kind of Psalm.

This is for the depressed mothers,

for the anxious and breathless mothers.

I see you,

I feel you,

I AM you.

This is for the restless mothers.

For the childless, 

motherless mothers 

mother.

I see you,

I feel you,

I AM you.

This is for the abused mothers.

For the estranged and misused mothers.

For the tired,

“My life is a mess!”

mothers.

I see you.

This is for the abandoned mothers,

the absent, halfway dead mothers.

For the focused,

trying to make ends meet 

mothers.

I feel you.

For the poised,

and proper mothers.

For the emotional mothers.

The red, yellow, 

black and white,

ALL are precious,

in His sight mothers.

I AM you.

I stand with you,

Forever, for always 

eternally yours.

Mother.
