Mother... Is A Verb
by Eileen Starr
“A noun!” you say?
It’s true some way…
But more superb:
It IS a verb.
Mothering is caring
And listening and sharing,
Encouraging and tending,
And ever ever mending.
Most any breed:
A child in need,
Or dog or cat
What’s wrong with that?
Mothering is seeking,
Refraining from critiquing,
At times, together grieving.
Perceiving and believing.
So what’s the word?
A noun? Absurd!
Not to disturb….
It IS a verb…
