Motherhood

The burden of biology.

One aspect of intimacy.

The beginning of a triolgy,

one, plus one makes three.



I wasn't prepared for the responsibility,

I owe you an apology.



But, when you hung upon my knee,

t'was the beginning of theology.

My concerns for you, you see,

were born of mythology.

The reality of the role will be

transcending ideology.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The best thing I ever did was you, Jan.
I planned this pregnancy-and it still scared the hell out of me.
