Motherhood as essence — pain, joy, life
Nurture, nature, the womb knows no difference
To exist this way, a mission to be humane

Comfort with the precision of a surgeon’s knife
Nature, nurture all in with vociferance
Motherhood as essence — pain, joy, life

Camomile and calendula to ease any pain
Strength and wisdom to guide the way
Nurture, nature, the womb knows no difference

A calling, a conviction, a truth
in blood and bone, in spirit and the heart
To exist this way, a mission to be humane
