In the City of Motherly Love ~ A Poem

As I toured Philly with my family,
Mothering all the while,
I reflected on statues of founding fathers
Cast in cold metals
Scraping the skies
While, on hands and knees,
I wrote my children's names in chalk on the ground.

Weren't our founding fathers
Once babies,
Drinking, dozing,
at the fullness of breast,
Warm milk dripping from the corners?

What is Liberty
If not to uplift
Those who hold you,
Love you,
Make you strong?

That was so beautiful! I just got chills! And I was in Philly in May so I felt the connection while reading it.
