Blessing
A poem of motherhood

child, this kiss
on your forehead
ought to be enough
to still your racing mind
my lips a button
switching off
self-doubt and worry
my hands smoothing
lines on a face
too young to be
creased with anxiety
leave it
with me, baby girl
and I will hold it
like a stone in my heart
until you are ready
for the crush
of inheritance
