Maternal


I am protective and nurturing.

I wonder what my future holds.

I hear kids whisper woes.

I see children crying.

I want to help people.

I am protective and nurturing.

I imagine world problems are resolved.

I feel connection slipping from my fingers.

I touch the hearts of many.

I worry I can't fix the world.

I cry for poverty.

I am protective and nurturing.

I understand the world can't be perfect.

I say everyone can change.

I dream that everything will work out in the end.

I try to do my best.

I hope I can make the world a better place.

I am protective and nurturing.
