The Feeling of A Mother

How can one understand or comprehend the agony of a mother?


The feeling of little movements moving around amongst her belly.

The feeling of utter dismay when the life that was to grace her with its presence was no more.

The feeling when the woman in the white coat hands this mother a lifeless mass and apologizes for her unfortunate yet statistical outcome.


How can one understand or comprehend the hollowness of this mother?


The feeling she gets when her intentions were harshly questioned.

The feeling she meets once stepping into a home set up for three but arriving with two.

The feeling of loneliness she must have felt after months of sweet expectation and small accompaniment.


How can we understand or comprehend the hope of a strong mother?


The feeling she must of felt once announced a second chance.

The feeling she must of felt once she noticed such a gift!

The feeling she must of gone through when she learned she'd have two.


How can one understand or comprehend the happy blessings of this mother.
