mothering

what is it to mother and why do I do it
writing this makes me realise mother is just one letter short of smother. a thin line To stay on the right side of mothering without crossing over to paranoid over controlling freaks we can all become

are mothers mothers when they have a child
or is there something more
must there be a desire to spend time with them, play with them be young with them revel in all that we learn and learn again with them

to love unconditionally without expectations 

to watch them grow up to not need you but want your company nevertheless 

to see them watching you watch them wanting you to watch them but not showing it

it's joy and pain and love and pain and joy again all over
