The womb

My beginning, my alpha
My shield in bad weather
My hospitality, my palace

When I was, but a fetus
If at all an embryo
I was never in fear of shocks
I was in warmth of care
Nor did I need a garment
For you protected my development

Even when I was less to think
I was at all complete
I knew my protection
The womb, my mother
My world of no ending love
My hospitality, my palace

And when I was less to see
Never did I needed sight
For you knew my direction
Mother, I respect you womb
For it was my shield in bad weather
For I know my sisters and brother

The womb
Our beginning, our palace
For the bond is deep
