those green shoots of hope
emerging from parched soil
nature’s awesomeness
eggs delivering life
I bow with gratitude
do we ever know
the source of our sustenance
hydrating showers?
true love rains incessantly
to help retain sanity
Persistence of earth
in drawing nutrition from
deep, unseen sources
cracking up in the process
motherhood inspires.
Challenge of life
is giving back to the world
what we keep drawing
ungratefully, unaware
of being a borrower.

A gorgeous poem, Reena. I did have to chuckle though … “cracking up in the process motherhood inspires.” I am sure my sons would agree…not so much about the inspiration, maybe, but definitely the cracking up 😉

This is wonderful. The third stanza in particular is so touching to me. (I have four — children.)
