From The Moment Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

from the moment
you open your eyes
until the moment
you close your eyes

your children
are constantly
under your feet

always next to you
seeking you out
your presence touch

when they sleep
they want to be
always next to you

during a nap by day
long hours sleep by night
from the womb time

these are your babies
your little children
little minds personalities

like brood chicks
to mother hen
under your wing

they seek comfort
warmth security
love protection food

this love this bond
this motherhood
this is a gift divine
this blessing children
