The Skeptics Kaddish...W3 Prompt # 210... Dectina Form

she
is not
his mother
but could well be
because she cares for
him twenty four seven
she devotes her life to him
keeps him alive and well cared for
sacrificing her own wants and needs
she is not his mother but could well be

  4. Rall, the line “she devotes her life to him” feels very powerful to me because it shows how love can come from care, not just blood ❤️

    Much love,

  5. When you get to have a second maternal presence - that is a blessing! This poem is a beautiful tribute to that kind of supporting love!

  6. How lovely, Rall. I connected to your words, as I helped to raise my two step daughters. I always felt like they were mine. ❤️
