Women! Nurturers! Moms! Mothers! Mothering!

Mothers, dears...I watched your souls glow with the beauty of life

Mothering!!

You Manifest, emerge, perceive, emanate and flow

like an ever giving river across the universe...

You are Poise, pain, grace and kindness

💧💧💧💧💧💧💧

You exist in a never ending cycle of life, birth, and strength...

Strewing kindness, fierceness and guile like ever falling raindrops

Like lionesses, you protect the young of the pride

Unfolding in many shapes, forms, and contours

You ache and make mistakes, you laugh and you cry

But your laughter and tears soothe the earth,

forever renewing it's strength

💧💧💧💧

You keep our secrets that are too painful to be voiced

In the sad places within which we hurt each other

I have known two mothers - one gave birth to me

💧💧

The other nourished, cared and tended to my tender soil

Both working together to help me grow into an independent flower

I love you both lots...My two moms

How was I ever so lucky

Two mothers. I must be especially special

For two mothers are just as extraordinary

As a mom and a dad could ever be

But my once young friends said that I am a little weird

I cannot be born without a mom and a dad

Maybe I was adopted, they taunted...I was so mad

So what if I a adopted, I pouted...I am still loved

I told them back then, in my childish way

"I can too be born. I am here aren't I"? 💧💧

So, I looked it up for myself, since my moms say that

They will let me know when I am older

I am older now, I am EIGHT and a half years old

I secretly got the books from the school Library

I told the nice kind Librarian lady that

I was doing a school assignment and could she please

help me to explain how two moms could have

A beautiful baby girl without a daddy

My friends say that the books say

that the daddy has to donate sperm

Or I will not become a fetus in my mommy's tummy

I do not know what that is, but it is important 🏞️🏞️🏞️

💧Aren't you a bit young for this topic love?

The nice lady smiled and gave me a funny look

No, I am not, I almost yelled. I need to know

So she sort of bent down and whispered in my ear

That it was ok to have two mommies and be 💧💧

just as lucky as anyone who has a mommy and a daddy

I felt really great when she did this

Then she said that maybe I should ask my mommies

To come back with me and get the books

And explore the many possibilities that life

Has to offer to have happiness in so many

Many different and wonderful ways

The many adventures that life can offer

To a fine little grown up who was all of 💧

Eight and a half years old and becoming a little lady

I smiled and thanked her politely

Then I went and got my friends and

We got some books and sat at the back of

The library and read about the sperm 💧💧💧

It said that they inject the sperm into one of my mommy's tummy

And in nine months I actually became a baby

My friend asked if the sperm was free

All three of us shrugged and decided to ask

the nice librarian lady about purchasing sperm

💧💧Her hand flew to her mouth and she stared at us

for a really, really long time...we were very puzzled

It was a really serious and important question

Finally she asked where we got out information

📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

Books! We told her. Pointing to the bookshelves

Oh dear! She whispered.

Again, advising us to return with our parents

as she put the books back upon the shelves

So we went and asked Grandma about the situation

Grandma said there is a bank, just like ones with money

where two moms can make a withdrawal, like money

and receive a beautiful baby boy or girl 💧💧

The only difference is that they will have to wait

a whole long nine months before the baby arrived

I am that gift that arrived after they made their withdrawal

She said she loved me and my two mothers

and I should be patient and wait for them to

explain it in their own time

I googled it when I was nine and a half years old

I knew it all when they explained it when

I was 12 years old

I never told you that I understood what actually

having two moms really meant 📚📚

Honestly, now that I am grown

I want you to know that I was very happy, but

for a long time I really wished that I had a dad though

All my friends did, and I felt left out

I am better now. I understand and accept life

I love you both moms 💧💧

Always have

Always will!
