When a woman has a child
She is called a Mother
It is a label of love
But when a child dies
The woman is a Mother
Of a child who has died
There is no label
I don’t want the label
Of a Mother whose child has died
But if labels must be handed out…
I want the label of a mother
The other label, the one that doesn’t exist
is too hard, too sad and absolutely terrible
I don’t want the label
Of a Mother whose child has died
Just as well there is no label
I love this one. You are a Mother and will always be a Mother. I love you.
