by Margo Levin
My Daughter as a Mother…
Is like NOTHING I could have ever imagined!
It is mind-boggling
To watch her step up to the challenge of caring for her baby 24-7.
It is almost like I am looking down from heaven…
As if I am not really there
Because she does it so well.
It is a heart-stirring mixture of emotion…
Difficult to absorb the scene that unfolds before my eyes:
The love that flows between them is contagious.
If they are Mother and Daughter,
Then who am I?
Where do I fit into this picture of life?
Watching them together, it doesn’t really matter.
My heart is full of joy just being witness to it.
