Do
you ever think, dear Mother
As
the seeds of me you sowed,
As you breathed
new life inside of me
And slowly watched
me grow,
In all your dreams
about me
When you planned
me out so well,
When you couldn't
wait to have me there
Inside your heart
to dwell,
Did you ever think
that maybe,
I was planning
for you, too,
And choosing for
my very own
A mother just
like you?
A mother who smelled
sweet and who
Had hands so creamy
white,
A tender, loving
creature
Who would soothe
me in the night?
Did you ever think
in all those days
While you were
coming due,
That as you planned
a life for me
I sought a life
with you?
And now as I lay
in your arms,
I wonder if you
knew
While you were
busy making me,
I was choosing
you!
