When I became a mother,
On
this date some years ago,
I
understood how many things
I
simply did not know.
But
learning on the job is how
Most
new moms figure out
That
even when they get it right,
They’ll
still be filled with doubt.
For
every mother makes mistakes,
Though
she may do her best
And
if her child grows up okay,
What
might be manifest
Is
that, along the way, she somehow
Managed
to provide
Her
birthday boy with proof enough
Of
just how hard she tried.
