unaware of the world around her
only of the love that is her life
the wishes and dreams
held deep in your soul were
shared heart to heart while in your arms
back and forth in the rocking chair
you soothed and smiled
and gave her everything she needed
years later your baby has a baby of her own
her wishes and dreams are yours
in another time and place
the need of mothers
from the beginning of time
lives through to another generation
