Sons of the same mother

She may have born us

close together or far apart

so are we not

sons of the same mother?

We may call her

Mother, mum or ma

so are we not

sons of the same mother?

We may be seated in her lap

Or reaching for her skirts

so are we not

Sons of the same mother?

We work together in love

as brothers

so are we not

sons of the same mother?

Facing away from her

or looking up at her face

She holds us dear

because we are sons

Of  the same mother.
