Be Now

There are moments and I miss them

A look I did not share

A nose I did not kiss

A question I did not hold

confidence I could have sown

a yearn I could have filled

trust I could have grown

But I am thunder

Butterflies & nourishkeit

What-ifs

& vacant

I am life impatient.

What if I find moments?

A look I see and share

A nose that begs a kiss

A question I echo and hold

I find

confidence I choose to sow

a yearn I recognize and fill

trust I carefully grow

I’m mother

And love and future,

Intentional hopes

& present

I’m Motherhood as I live it

A relationship

Authentic

I am now as I live it.
