giver of life
the strongest person I know, though I'm not sure I ever told her
she carried me for 9 months, and in many ways has continued 47 years
giver of hugs
the real kind pulled close and tight and all the way around
she taught me how to do it right, and she's been reminding me for 47 years
giver of love
the kind she told me I would understand one day and I do now, I honestly do
she was a model of truly unconditional love, and she has been for 47 years
He
giver of love
the kind that lives in everyday actions and emotions, so completely
he has held nothing back for 21 years
giver of hugs
the kind he learned from getting, with all the weight of his body and his whole heart
he's never too old to offer one up even at 21 years
giver of life
the source of energy and aliveness to all he encounters
he is a lover of life and people, yes a lover of love even at 21 years
I
am the connective tissue, one-of-a-kind, embedded through DNA
and perpetuated through both nature and nurture
we are the cycle of love and of motherhood
We
are
one.
