Beneath Your Heart
A Poem for My Mother
Beneath your heart I grew
Curled up like a bean
I planted roots in your soul.
Leaving that warm and precious place
Out into the world I spread
Nourished by its light.
When I found True Love
I recognized it
From when I rested there
Under one heart that beat as two
And came onto the earth
Under two hearts that beat as one.
His arms cradle me safe
As in your womb, I still grow.
Our child as yet unmade
Will know your Love from there
Where I grew beneath your heart.
My roots grow there still
I love you, Mom.

Post a CommentMy favorite phrase is "curled up like a bean." Much more original that peas in a pod :)
