Mother, Magical, Moment Words Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France 11/13/2023

The egg I hatched from, the being I've been fed for nine months. The first one that hugged me with her warmth. The first time I've been told how beautiful I was, even if I was one more newborn child. A sunny day by the end of June my mother had her dream in her arms, while I was in a deep dream under her wings. You kept me for a while, not for long time. Soon you took me far to another country, without your feathers to keep me warm. You left me when I needed you the most into a challenging life. Mother, you didn't know, but you left me in the best hands. I grew up with another mother, she has been with me in my cries, my nights awake, my first steps, my first teeth, my sickness, my whole life. Mother, you never forgave me that I loved her more than you. You were always reproaching me about what you did wrong. You were jelous about her, my auntie, my real mother, the one dind't laid the egg, but the one that took care about the bird. After years we made peace. We were not as we should be, but we got closer and closer. I understood you in the end. The worst came, you got sick, then your little bird took care about you before you flew above the rainbow. Mother, you must know that day, a piece of me died forever. I forgave you, because now I know you did the best for me to have a better life. Now I just want to take care about my other mum, as she did always with me. Mother, just to tell you one more thing...How lucky I am that I had two Mothers.

Thank you for sharing your love for your mothers with us, Maria. It touched my heart and soul. We all need to learn to forgive and still be loving towards each other and those that have harmed us emotionally if not mentally or physically. Forgiveness is a healing balm. You've revealed your loving heart to us today. A FAV poem for my list, and an excellent entry for the contest. Good luck! Have a blessed day, my friend. Bill

Maria--I'm teary-eyed reading your poem as you recount life with two moms. I suppose in the end, it was a privilege to have two moms who had your best interest at heart. Your kind to forgive your mom...some couldn't do that. You've become such a beautiful woman and soul. I'm impressed that you're now taking care of your other 'mom.' That speaks volumes about you and your character. A splendid read, hugs, Sara
