Homage to motherhood

[Delta40]

Honest
You cost me nothing
This hasn't hurt at all
You have been worth the price
of ache and yearn
the gushing tears
and trying times
Now that I have seen you
teeter at the precipice
of your eyrie dwelling -
such faltering reluctance
to soar high in the current
Oh my precious child - you fly!
Motherhood pain is not in vain

[Hawkman]

You seem to be on a roll with these matriarchal musings. I really like this one. Very nicely and economically expressed. Well Done. H

[PrinceMyshkin]

I agree with Hawkman, and salute you for the reversal of the expected tribute to mother, although this indeed is one.

[Bar22do]

This is the best! In few words you said it all: motherhood's pain and pride!
I particularly love:

"Now that I have seen you
teeter at the precipice
of your eyrie dwelling -
such faltering reluctance
to soar high in the current.."

Congratulations for this beautiful piece, Delta.

With best regards - Bar
