A Mother's Voice


When I birthed my daughter
I became a fierce protectress
A woman whose voice runs deep

When I birthed my daughter
I laid to rest inhibition
And insecurity

When I birthed my daughter
The sound of my voice
Assured me of my power

When I birthed my daughter
She became my only focus
Single pointed and pure

When I birthed my daughter
My reflection changed
A mother. A nurturer. Primal. Real 

When I birthed my daughter
She blasted me open
Raw. Rich. Strong. A force

When I birthed my daughter
My daughter birthed me
And together we rise
