Mother

“Mother”

by Nicole Costa

I am a woman

of

The forest

I live and bath

In the leaves

of

The flowers

of

The land

In the spirit

of

The trees

The essence

of

My mother

Washes over me

I am clean

I am coming home again

Mother

Coming home to you

Coming home to me

I am coming home again

Mother

Across life’s many

Humbled seas

I am made new again

Mother

I’m down on bended knees

This one thing

I ask of you

My Mother

Receive me please
