Parental Guidance

Watch her child suffer Giving birth was a happy time Cuddling the creation proclaiming, “It is mine” But trouble soon brewed Everything was not innocent and new Her child was different from the others But still she was the child’s mother Staying vigilant was the missionary duty Hoping the best for what she called her beauty Have you ever seen a mother?
