Mother

I have been told, read, and sung
Stories of mothers
Of what they are supposed to be
A shelter in a storm
The answer, the comfort,
That is promised to be given

A Mother’s love is conditional
It is practical, mathematical
It talks in rhythm, and realism
Calculating and demanding
Suffocating, validating
All wrapped into one
Love
