As a tribute to my dear mother, my wife and sisters who are also mothers, and all mothers everywhere I felt moved to spend a few moments in meditation contemplating mothers and what motherhood means. After this I was inspired and wrote the following:
to every mother
thank you,
for giving me life,
for cocooning me for months from the world, so that I may have enough strength to enter it,
and comforting me when I arrive,
for feeding me with milk from your own body,
for teaching me what it is to be loved just for being me,
and when I ask you "How can I repay you?",
you reply with a gentle smile, wanting nothing in return
Mum,
you are my creator,
my sustainer,
my comforter,
you are love personified,
thank you,
your child
