Two Women, Two Different Roles
Read Time: < 1 minute
Sharing A Lovely Piece Of Poetry
Two women, two different roles
The one who gave birth to me
And the one I gave birth to.
One gave all the love she had
The other got all the love I had
One strived in the life chosen for her
The other – for the life she chose
One made sure I didn’t have tears
The other ensured I face my fears
One hears my voice to know if am well
The other can read my face and tell
One had her eyes moist as she saw me go
The other made my eyes moist as I let her go
My past and my future when shall meet
Will be a picture ever so complete
Two women, two different roles
If only I could be a little like them,
The one who gave birth to me,
And the one I gave birth to.
Two women, two different roles.
