As Love's Pages Turn

Unlike the robin caring for her young weaving a nest of affection sitting sentry, perched on pale-blue eggshells nourishing new-hatched fledglings her joy as worms whirl down their cavernous, yearning orifices... A woman's tender love for her young deepens as calendar pages turn blossoming in Spring, flourishing in Summer ~ her nestlings long-departed ~ thriving in Autumn, yet vibrant through Winter

Thank you, Michelle, esp. since I presume you would definitely be an expert on the subject (of mothering) by now! :-) gw
