To a Mother

Marisol Lua

Haiku
Time cannot contain,
Your love is nested all over
Stretch marks prove your hope

About this poem

Upon looking at a tree, I noticed an empty nest. Reflecting, I understood its purpose and its significance. Like many other leave-behinds, it represents love, hope, and motherhood, echoing throughout time.
