on children

I am 
I am flowing always rain
I become the backdripping of their
Life, so they can live

I am giving, not with my hand
But with my heart
I am here
A staple
A brick
One that can be picked up
And know it will return to the same place, even if dropped,
I am whole

I am rooted into the ground
Which is connected with heaven
For I walk both on heaven and earth
As I walk as much in my heart
As I step forward
Backwards is already past
I turn your head ever forward
To grow
To experience what isn't mine to know

I am mother
To myself first
So I can mother you
I am love born each time
I feel your rebirth
In wisdom. In pain, in 
Life you hurdle over
Striving ever forward...

I am here for you...
