You Made Me a Mom

Your tiny face nestled against my skin
The alchemy of a soul newly ushered into the world
You made me a mom
You transfigured me
Transformed me into a new entity
Birthed me into a new identity
A newly purposed being
A mother
Your mother
Chosen by you to be the gateway to what and who you will become
What sacredness exists in being the vessel that transmutes the energy of a soul into flesh
I promise I will do my best
And I ask that you are patient with me in those times I am not my best
We will learn and grow together
Hand and hand
Heart and heart
