Two Mothers

Dawn breaks

At a child's cry

Brilliant colours

Streak the sky

A mother groans

As she strains to wake

The sun rises

No sound to make

The mother stands

And sees the sky

A smile to her face

A gleam to her eye

Birds start to sing

As she calms her child

The sun looks down

And glows approval

She tells her girl,

"The sun is kind

A mother given

To all mankind."
