Motherhood

I love my mother
For being my mother
And I, her dear son,
Born later than my father
I love my mother
For marrying my father
I am her first gift
While inside of her
I troubled her in
Her first trimester
Deprived her in her
Second trimester
Kicked and boxed her in
Her third trimester
Threatening her
To let me out

And while an embryo
I was protected
By her placenta
And she shared her life
Food, water, and air
With me
I deprived her of sleep most times, and
Usurped her energy always too
Yet she bore me
Unselfishly
Selfless devotion
And on her full term
She brought me forth
And with her help
I forced myself
Into her world
And the world at large
From within her being
And from my first second
In the strange world outside
My safe and secure
Embryonic world
Inside of her
She smothered me
And cajoled me
Pampered me
Cared for me
With love and affection
She protected me
And nursed me
With all her heart
Enveloped me
With all her mind
And gave me her milk
Of motherly kindness
And I milked her from
Her two milk stations
Whichever I want
Just for me, and more for
My followership ---
Uterine, germane, and
Consanguine siblings
She also gave me
A continuous flow
Of her honey of
Motherly compassion
At one day old I died
For most of the day
And came to life for
Only a fraction
During which I was
Irritative, Troubling,
And worst of all
Pestering
To my loving mother
The other fraction of
My daily life awake
Was spent in
Milking my mother
At one year old, more
Troubling to my mum
With my unsolicited
Compulsiveness
Discomfiture
At ten years old I
Disturbed my mother
Inquisitiveness
And selfishness!
Yet she remains
Caring and sharing
For me and with me
By the age of twenty
I was detached from her
Building and making my life
But only temporarily!
At thirty I started
Longing for baby days
But it was then too late!
I should rather move on
At forty I became
My mother's father!
At fifty I became
Older than my mother!
At sixty I will become
M mother's grandfather!
By above sixty my mum
Will be pleased with me at last!
Pleased with me forever!
I wish my mother
Very many more
Years of motherhood ---
And of mothering
She bore me and shaped me
From a baby to a child
And from a child to a man
Then I took over from her
And now making myself
A jolly good old man!
And it's now my turn
To shape my mother
From a mother
To grandmother!
Until she passes through
My age and her age
A fully blown full bloom
My very ripe age and
Her very ripe old age
For her and for me
Do you love your mother?
Please love your mother
For she is your mother
As I love my mother
For being my mother
Do you love your mother?
Please love your mother!
For she conceived you and bore you!
You were begotten by her!
Do you love your mother?
Please love your mother
I love my mother!
