37. All the Places My Hands Can’t Touch

Oh,
here you go.
It's nothing more
Than my failure
On a platter
With a side
of my
Heart.
They say all
women know
how to mother
but where
Are the ones
who keep doing it
Wrong, not for the lack
of trying
But for the want
Of trying too hard?
It's when You remind me
This little race isn't
Mine to be won,
But to be nurtured
And prayed for
As her little soul
Is sent deep
Within ocean and wave
And all the places
My hands can't touch
But Yours have made.
