Need to say

“THAT HURT LIKE A MOTHERF*CKER BUT I FORGIVE YOU”: a limerick sans Nantucket

“Need to say” is a peculiar phrase
I say to need—aloud, or in this space
Bless or deride?
Connect or divide?
What would you create in my place?

We all do more than care for our children every day. We have to. Our children are the most precious thing, but there is more to life and more to each mother than just mothering.

Keep the poems coming, dear. Even mothers need some beauty now and then.
