Insatiably Needing Angels

Cluster, clan, hanging bunch of grapes - bustling collection children I dreamed - Far from rationale, imagination run wild - Adult life ridicules, idea is far less esteemed When I babysat, pretended they were mine - even the Asian one. Try to stop my stories! - Wanted to be seen at sixteen as their mother - Saw caregiving and fun sharer as ultimate glory Perhaps a great majority of girls feel the same - playing with dolls, structured, serious business - But of course, options are much more enlightening - High valued career compared to the longing within us Being tied to a community, sweet trip indeed! - commitment delivered, rewarded for decades - Blink away your tears, perfection, I'm always here - Each Mother knows her gratitude returned in spades 11th November
