WHEN A MOTHER

When I was a child, the trees were giants.  I climbed to the highest branch and there I cried, “Victory!!!”   I jumped from the highest diving board, hit bottom  and exploded through the surface of the water gasping for air again and again.  I imagined myself a world-famous pianist, writer, movie star.  I believed that you would live forever.  That one day I would take care of you and fulfill your every dream.   That I would make you happy.

When I was a child, I held your hand.  I felt your gentle arms surround me.  I kissed you good night over and over.  I watched you make apple pie – each piece warming my insides, hungary for more.  Your voice sang in my ears, each note made light my steps as I ran home from school into your smile.  I saw your fingers nimbly run fabric through the sewing machine, create drawings of clothes, of birds, of horses.  I wiped away your tears:  my shoulders were too small.  I tried to be good.

When I am a child, I think or you.  I long to feel your arms hold me when I am in pain:  tell me that you will always be there.  At times I imagine I see you off in the distance but my legs never carry me fast enough.  I watch old movies and see you acting a life not your own.  I travel to the land of your birth and there I try to understand.  I walk through the house of your childhood.  My fingers breathe in your sorrow:  my blood pumps it to my heart.  I cry.

When I am a child, I feel you standing beside me.  I hear your laughter and it makes me strong.  I feel pain.  I look at the child that I am and gently take her hand.  Together we travel through distant lands. Together we cross the street.
