How To Make a Mother

two pinches of nurse with a hint of doctor
sprinkle in the tenacity of an attorney then
stir briskly until smooth and thoroughly kind
 
grease the pan for speed of thought and ease 
of removal for when the heat is too much
bake to superhero perfection until
emergency ready and cape willing
 
when finished decorate with bows and gowns
wrapped with smiles and don't mess with my child eyes
