Why do some get this joy
While others are stuck
Yearning for it?
If the help they provide is
Infinite
Why does not everybody have the choice
To give it?
How?
This last question is
Quite possible the most difficult to answer
How does the affection
Come so naturally?
Do you learn in a class?
How does somebody change so much in this process.
If you couldn’t tell
This very poem
Is about mothers.
The sacrifices they make
The knowledge they have,
The love they share,
Will baffle me forever.
