Mother to Son

What a beautiful sight
you are to behold,
my newborn son

Though your first breath
was only moments ago,
there is already
so much I must share

Please feel my love
and let it surround you 
even when 
I am no longer 
by your side

Know that you did 
nothing wrong,
despite any wrongs 
that may come to you

The treatment 
you will receive
is not what you deserve

I wish I could 
always be by your side,
I wish I could
protect you from pain

I’m sorry I feel the need
to share so much
on your very first day of life

But the farmer 
will be coming soon,
to pull you from my side,
just like your sister before you

because humans like 
the food I make for you
and there is no 
room for you
in their equation
