Apocalypse~
In my then-imagined worst-case scenario
If I had to get to my kids
But my car wouldn’t go
I put my trust in my legs
And my Asics became my wheels
My training was ten miles a day
But even that was not enough
I learned the hardest way:
A mom can be a mother bear
But bears are not all-powerful
Naiveté to PhD level now:
We give our best, and that’s our all
Boughs break
Cradles fall
Our legs can only run so fast
Our love is boundless
Our might is not
No one tapped me on each shoulder
Dubbing me with omnipotence
While I love with everything I have…
I’m just the non-omni mommy
And that’s not the end of the world
He’s just beyond the fence.
