Birth Mother II

I try to picture her, a young, frail girl, hair brown, eyes blue,  babe swelled,  form full, she's worn and comes alone to bear her child, a whirl of confused thoughts leave her mind fear torn. Pain fills her mind and form constricted writhes, becomes a bow to arrow me to life; she  pays Love's dues, a time of tearing tithes, within her body I become the knife. Removed from her, the papers signed, she leaves, a hole within her heart, a blackened shrine to  Nature's needs denied; Through time we grieve she in her life, I at last in mine. I know that love within my heart still stays   for that young girl who gave me life that day.
