God Our Mother by Allison Woodard

"To be a Mother is to suffer;
To travail in the dark,
stretched and torn,
exposed in half-naked humiliation,
subjected to indignities
for the sake of new life.

To be a Mother is to say,
'This is my body, broken for you,'
And, in the next instant, in response to the created’s primal hunger,
'This is my body, take and eat.'

To be a Mother is to self-empty,
To neither slumber nor sleep,
so attuned You are to cries in the night—Offering the comfort of Yourself, and assurances of 'I’m here.'"
