1. what it means to be a mother

it means, you breathe in every fragrance that surrounds you, hoping a second soul dreams of flowers it means, you immerse yourself in the sounds of a busy city, hoping a second soul remembers the cacophony it means, you see the world through an extra set of eyes, eyes that belong to someone who'll have no context of this sight it means, you care and you love and you cry for someone other than yourself it means, to be selfless to be empowered, to hold a hand over your aching heart and hear two heartbeats, one that resides inside, one that flies away.
