Dearest Mother
Bounteous, Beautiful, Blessed,
Life giving, Mother
How we wonder at thy beauties,
Then turn and defile you
Through our haze of personal satiation,
We do not feel your heart!
Pulsing, Pounding, Perfect Love,
You give and give.
We do not understand.
But now I thank you,
Your mountains, rivers, fields, seas and valleys,
Your trees and flowers and deserts,
Your beauty unspeakable!
Let me live as thou livest,
Let me remember thee in all things,
Fill me with thy Being, as I cannot be that which you are not,
I desire as dost thou, Mother, to live to give.

Wide-eyed, piercing contemplation…newborn.
Meeting my gaze, reading my thoughts…you want nothing.
Depth
Focused, deliberate…toddler.
Intently pressuring us to submit…you want what you want!
Concentrated
Fun-loving, cute…8-year old.
Extrovert, star…you know what you want!
Gregarious
Willful, unyielding…pre-teen.
Confusion, puberty…you do what you want!
Inflexible
Solo, driving…teen-ager.
Wandering, searching…you’re not sure what you want.
Rootless
Gone, missing…young adult.
Unknown, mystery…I don’t know what you want.
Mourning
Renewed, home…NOW.
Unlimited, enthusiastic…we’re creating what we want.
Love
