Bea’s Garden

A garden of maternal love
The true unconditional kind
No questions about your intentions
Just love overflowing genuinely
Your love so sweet like honey
It sticks with me forever eternally…
It’s been 15 years
Half of my lifetime
Since you left and it still hurts like the moment I found out
You left me maternally loveless….
In a place where unconditional maternal love is what you need to make it through.
Though gone
Your love, your spirit I know is with me everyday…
I gave my daughter your abbreviated name of endearment….Bea
Placed right in the middle of her name where you reside in my heart
The center…
Galvanized by the way you lived and yet never forgot me.
But in fact loves radically!
You are the nucleus to my being as a woman and more importantly as a mother.
And as I carry life for the 3rd time I feel that strong whisper to continue to break the chains of maternal dysfunction.
To exude unconditional love to every baby I have the honor of bringing into this world.
And I both conceive and carry with great intention because I do not take lightly what has been bestowed unto me.
Your love planted a seed that may have skipped generations but took roots inside of me.
Mother Bea your sweet garden of love will live on forever, because of the way you loved me.
I will love you Nana, eternally.
