MY SONS

I LABORED WITH YOUR BIRTHS

SO MANY YEARS AGO

I IMMEDIATELY FORGOT THE PAIN

I ENJOYED MY BABIES SO

SURE THERE WERE TIMES

WHEN YOU MARRED MY STRENGTH

BUT THERE NEVER WAS A TIME WHEN I WOULDN'T GO THE LENGTH

I DID THE BEST ,I KNEW HOW

I MADE THE DECISIONS

SOMETIME THEY WERE WRONG

I DIDN'T HAVE X-RAY VISIONS

I MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW YOU FELT

HOW HORMONES CAN BE ENGAGING

HOW WE LOCKED HORNS TOGETHER

EACH OF US WAS RAGING

BUT NOW MY CIRCLE IS CLOSED

MY SONS ARE FINE YOUNG MEN

AND I WENT FROM BEING A MOMMY

TO A NOW BEST FRIEND
