the first holding you knew was in my womb
i wrapped you safe inside my body
the sound of my heartbeat your first melody
what i ate, you ate
what i drank, you drank
what i felt, you felt
i nourished you with what i nourished myself
love, hate, joy, anger, sadness, wonder
i fed my humanity into your divinity
and when you were ready
i birthed your beauty to the world
