“If I could be the mother of Wind I would blow all fear away from you. If I could be the mother of Water I would wash out the path that frightens you. If I were the mother of Trees I would plant my tallest children around your feet that you might climb beyond all danger. But alas, I am only a mother of humans whose magic powers have vanished since we allow our littlest ones to face injustice suffering & the unholiest of terrors alone.” — Alice Walker
If I could be
the mother of Wind
I would blow all fear
away from you.
If I could be
the mother of Water
I would wash out the path
that frightens you.
If I were the mother
of Trees
I would plant
my tallest children
around your feet
that you might
climb
beyond all danger.
But alas,
I am only
a mother of humans
whose magic powers
have vanished
since we allow
our littlest ones
to face injustice
suffering
& the unholiest
of terrors
alone.
