M-O-T-H-E-R

by David Lefkowitz

M is for the Miracle of birth
O is for the Ovum growing free
T is for the Trouble that I caused her
H is for the Hysterectomy (six months later)
E is for Episiotomy scars
R is for three months in the Recovery Room

Put them all together they spell “MOTHER”
The only girl to want me in her womb.
