Dear Sweet One

Soon you will learn
there are things in your control
and there are things that are not,

but today 

I thrive in the knowledge
that you are the safest
                you will ever be:
wrapped in the cocoon of my womb
where in the warm, dark climate,
                life survives.

I may never accomplish much,
but I have accomplished this,
and it is the very best that I can do.

So I see now,
the indestructible fortress of Mother
I am to become.
