She was wise at Five feet and seven inches With a voice that could Shake the barracks Of a ship When anger harvested her But tender As a lamb With the soft creases Of her hands She said happiness Is gargantuan but also Very small You can fit it in the palm She said Give it away You will One day But still it will be yours Never let somebody else *—Especially not a **** Y-chromosome—* Hold your contentment In their hot Little Hands.

Mother
She was wise at Five feet and seven inches With a voice that could Shake the barracks Of a ship When anger harvested her But tender As a lamb With the soft creases Of her hands She said happiness Is gargantuan but also Very small You can fit it in the palm She said Give it away You will One day But still it will be yours Never let somebody else *—Especially not a **** Y-chromosome—* Hold your contentment In their hot Little Hands.
