Notes

New day, new haiku!

This one is fot Eileithyia, Goddess of Childbirth.

Personally, I dont have any kids but I have been told many stories of how hard it is to go through, contractions and all. On top of that, I have read many tragic stories where the child lives but the mother does not.

Metaphorically speaking, it sometimes can be a difficult war to truly win as for some it can be bittersweet.

I wish all mothers, new and experience joy and happiness!

Here's the link for the growing collection:

Be back tomorrow with another one!

Much love,

Lyn 💜
