There's been a disruption
in your body's
p a tt ern,
b-r-a-n-c-h-i-n-g
river ways
form a road map,
a
maternal
mosaic,

a c r o s s
peaks

and valleys,
******* >
bums ~
hips ~
and (~) tummies.
Vividly hued
in pinks or reds
or silver threads.
One-of-a-kind,
universal at the same time.
Glitter stria,
shiny, sparkly,
oh-so pretty.
Worn with pride!
Or do they hide?
They test you,
like any child,
REFUSING
to alter their behavior,
REGARDLESS
of how nicely you ask.
Baby's left her mark on you!
Love those lines
as artistic souvenirs,
acquired
on the long journey
to becoming a mother.
Like
Love
Letters
they always have a story.
What does your story tell?
