Mother

I am a mother now
I am more than myself
I am what I am to her

My worries are no longer only about me, they are also about her
My desires have merged into what her future could be
 
I want her to be proud of her mother 
I must be better and I must do better

I want to be alive so 
that I can see her grow so 
that I can see what will be 
what will become
