Mother

Maggie Devers

Mother is a verb.

She does, does, does.

Even when she’s not moving, she holds,

Holds babies, feelings, everything that will fit in her two arms.

She can carry the entire world if you ask her,

Especially if you say please

She can’t help herself,

She is strength personified.
