Can’t you see I both want you
and want not to want you.
Can’t you tell I think of you
and then push you from my mind
Can’t you feel my body begging you for more
and my heart trying to escape you

I am a mother
Although I’ve never carried a child in my womb
Or pushed life out of me
I am a mother,
Although I’ve never had any children who came from my blood
Or called me mom
I am a mother,
To the cat I care for so tenderly I would lay my life to save his
Or the little bugs and spiders I let out into the garden after
Storms have brought them in
I am a mother
To my parents, who needed me to grow up and be strong enough
That I could take care of them, and provide a safe place for them to regrow
I am a mother
To my family when they've needed a shoulder to cry on, or a hug
during times where life only seemed to hurt
I am a mother
To the team, I listen to and support when they have nowhere else to go
I am a mother
To the stranger that only needs to see a smile as we cross paths
I am a mother
To the lover that never had one
I am a mother
To the sister, I ferociously protect and will forever do so
I am a mother
To the boss who needs to know he’s is doing a good job
I am a mother
To the community that needs a voice to stand alongside them
I am a mother
To the friends who know I will always be there
I am a mother
To nature as I thank her for the beauty she is
I am a mother
To the world, who might never notice me but who I will love regardless
I am a mother
Although I’ve never carried a child in my womb
Or pushed life out of me,
I am a mother.

It’s Funny, I see you looking, from all the way over there
And I wonder
What are you thinking
And why do I care
But then you lean in
And I listen
Then you pull back
So I watch you
You’ve piqued my curiosity
I think I’ve piqued yours
I watch you watch me
And I wonder
What are you thinking
