Mother’s Day 2023
This piece is based on a real tragedy involving two mothers. The main protagonist is a mother whose daughter gave birth to stillborn babies, not once but twice. ☹☹
Mother’s Day, bah humbug
Reminder of pain and heartache
Nothing to celebrate
Smiles, if any, forced and fake
A day to exalt motherhood
but not for one denied twice
and forever neutered
Blank stare in her eyes
