If it were a child she carried for 40 weeks
more or less,
she would find a way, she seeks
courage to fight moments of despair
patience to meet times of frustration
forgiveness to any bouts of commotion
knows a child does not comprehend,
a child expects unconditional love
a child deserves absolute compassion and regard
and then shall she take to this to mean
that Life as she sees it, feels it,
smelling vomit, tasting sweetness, serene
Life as it hurts, cuts bit by bit
Life with its multiple personality
Life with its joys and glee
Life with its mundane and bizarre
is all she will get here, near and far
only once in this time around…
and so she will hold it with kindness
and unconditional love and fondness
as if it were her baby she carried
for 40 weeks, more or less
and she shall find solace that she is,
Life is, simply…
meant to be…
When Life seems too difficult to bear, don’t despair
Treat it as your child…unconditional and loving care.
