Mother and Child
Once Upon a Time,
There was a young girl
who was treated cruelly
by a man and woman
pretending to be her parents.
And in time,
she was with child.
Her child was wise
and moved kindly within her.
Her mother,
being careful not to move,
without hurting her child.
For nine months
they cared for each other in this way,
gently, gently............
gently, gently............
If not, death would come to the other.
For you see,
the child's seed had been sown
outside her mother's womb
and planted within her intestines.
Come the time for the child's birth,
it was done by caesarean section.
And the child taken from her mother,
never to be seen again.
How deep is the love between mother and child ?
Choosing life, one for the other.
