ON BEING A MOM (for yanni, jyro, and yesha)

Once I prayed of becoming a mom--
a mom so sweet and loving--
to a child treasure and plum,
from the highest heavens gleaming.

My prayer went through the skies
and the answer came without delay
Moments passed and time flies
In my womb I felt a tender ray.

Flesh fof my flesh, blood of my blood
Oh, how wonderful the feeling is.
Life of my life, love of my love,
You are the most precious gift there is.

Your smile, your laughter, your babble,
Ease the weariness and trouble,
Just a touch of your tiny hands,
All troubles shun away.

Once a dream, now a realization,
Of becoming a mom so dear,
not only to one, but three children
with whom my love, I will always share.
