Recycling Love

our mothers carry us "before"

in their wombs,
and After,

in their arms
holding us up
until we can walk ...

and always

in their hearts,

all the way to the grave

we carry them from "before"
in our genes
and after,
holding them up
when they can no longer walk ...
and always
in our hearts
and our memories
all the way to the grave

Thank you, Mom
