Ode to mothers


The Most graceful Song
a young woman sings
The Most painful joy
a new mother's making
The Most agonizing Crescendo
cries labour's bowstring
The most handsome baby
her symphony brings
The most melodious Chorus
the child's cries string
The most powerful moment
into mother's arm awaiting
The most joyous comfort
a bosom's feeling
The most Selfless Act
a new beginning

The most precious moments
The most enjoyable pains
The most defining hours
a mother's earnings

To the most motherly beings
a most desired gift

To be a mother
The Most Beautiful Thing.
