Greatest Performance of My Life

Growing up I played with many dolls, dressing them~feeding them~rocking them. My cats I would dress in the doll clothes, riding them in my doll coach. Feeding them cool milk from the doll baby bottle, as I rocked them like a real baby. My cats loved this attention, their paws would close around the bottle as they drank the milk. Years past and I grow up, all my cats were now gone. My greatest performance came in a hospital, when my real baby was born. Now I knew just what he needed, feeding him milk and rocking him to sleep.

I believe motherhood is truly our great performance. As mothers, we give until we are no longer here. Thank you for your visit and kind comments, Paula.

I think that it is inherent in females, not always, to have this yen to play with dolls preparing them for motherhood, as i likewise think that males help their fathers tinker in the garage or do woodwork at school preparing them for responsibilities in a relationship, again not always. It is said, when a husband dies, a wife loses her handyman and when a husband loses a wife he loses his and house keeper. Lovely poem. Hugs, regards, Jennifer.
