This Title 

 

I desired this title 

The becoming of a mother 

I immersed myself in the odyssey 

Discarding all that was solitary 

 

I can see the seasons more clearly 

As they guide me through your years 

Until you no longer need to hold my hand 

Until your footprints are larger than mine in the sand 

 

My happiness in having birthed you will change 

Allowing me to grow the child into the adult
