Mother and daughter moments

The passing on of strength,
The power of protection, love in action;
Mother to daughter who becomes mother.
In the mirror, together, their smiles-
Millions and millions of miles;
So on they go.

In the heart of the forest,
In the still of the night, a baby cries;
Father stirs, universal mother cares.
In her sounds soothing we know peace.
At our death’s terror we call her;
Her light spares no shadow.

Mums conceive the cosmos;
Their children rise to fall, but rise again.
An unassuming strident song lies
Underneath the fleeting, unending repeating:
Sowing the color into connecting lives;
Creating with Love.
