LOVE COMES FULL CIRCLE

LOVE COMES FULL CIRCLE * Mother to Daughter Daughter to Mother Each one trying To nurture each other * The helpless cry Of her infant so needy Upsetting the balance Ofa mother's sanity * As she places the child To her breast so ready springing forth like a fountain of unending plenty * The sight of her suckling The child so at peace The picture of contentment She feels so at ease * The small helpless child Sitting high in the chair as themother's touch gently wipesfood from her hair * As thedaughter looks down what's become of her mother? Her body is withered Her speech sounding stuttered * She pulls a stray strand of Hair from her face As she wipes with a napkin The dribble from her face * She washes her gently And clothes her and then She whispers I love you she's done all that she can! * As Daughter to Mother Mother to daughter repeating the life cycle As love comes full circle. * WordPlay, March 2009
