MOTHER One who gives all Heart and soul and very life Who nurtures and teaches in a gentle way Who loves to the depths of her being One who flows with the rythyms of earth womb holding new life within Who bursts forth with child Who suckles at her breast One who protects as a she-bear her cub Strong hearted and unafraid Who gives warmth and comfort Who gives encouragement and praise One who walks in Beauty.
