Stefanie Fontker - True Mothers

There are so many women
Who have wanted exactly
What you have many nights
Violently cried for.

Yet it comes to them
Quickly, and grows slowly.
A gift from mother nature,
Perhaps a god given right.

A trial of a thousand tears
And two broken hearts,
Yet you have had to travel
Across a million and one waters.

You deserve so much in the
Eyes of all those have met you,
Have crossed hearts with you.
But you feel yourself condemned.

I know one day you will fall
Into a puddle of complete happiness,
And smile so subtly, that only you
Can feel the warmth that hugs you.

You may encounter many defeats,
But none of them will hold you.
