Breasts sagging
Stomach scarred
Body scarred for life
To give life
Hands dry
Heels cracked
Skin unshaven
Hair unkempt
Bones in pain
Yet..
You cuddle my sagging stomach
And shower your love
untouched by the notions
Of this world.
I looked at my hands
I said “Ugly!”
You said “Mum!
Your hands are lovely”
Body depleted but
Heart full.
