Mama's boy cries
to be lifted once again
by strong but gentle arms

And he cries again
at the certainty that no one will ever love him
the way she loves him

For all the heartbreak
that his kin
and his lovers have caused him

Only she can put him back together
to mend
and weld
and cradle the scar riddled body
only a mother could love
Ode to the caregiver, the mother, the hero, who weaves life with deft hands
