Mother’s Song
Silent changes in me
proclaim the life within.
Though others cannot see—
I know you are my kin.
More hunger and more aches
but less energy have I.
Just to sit, or rest to take
is my body’s endless cry.
Baby in my womb—
the doctor tells me so.
Skin stretches to make room
as the unseen infant grows.
Body, mind and spirit
knit together—moving now.
A beating heart, I feel it!
A ten-inch person...wow!
Unbelievable privilege:
a creation of God here lies.
In my humble human carriage,
A vessel of God am I!
