Motherhood

Motherhhod

Animals and humans abound

to share a life grammatically

a necessary female role 

to create life and mark a scene

to mother as a female verb

continuing a serene role 

of love to venture with its guise

of nuturing as time goes by

and mother as a female noun

a presence to engage her right

a verb and noun conjoining one

for eons there is reverence


the matrarch, our heroine

an essence that will ply the sign 

to bear her name as countries do

as motherhood continues on
