Selfless

She gives. 

And she gives. 

And she gives.

She considers every detail,

Sets everything in place so you have all that you need to grow, to thrive. 

You don’t often appreciate her compassion or her love. 

Not until you are wise enough to see the forest through the trees. 

To see how her tears watered you when you couldn’t water yourself. 

Not until you are wise enough to see the scars you left on her heart.

And yet still,

She gives. 

And she gives. 

And she gives. 

She returns your fiery thirst with a waterfall. 

Your emotional weight with a butterfly. 

Your endless greed with abundance. 

She gives. 

And she gives. 

And she gives. 

Mother.

Earth.
