Transcendental Sonnet #1280:
Tomorrow When You Are a Mother
for Maria tomorrow
for Dara and Marina today
I have children much bigger than me
They get bigger as I get smaller
Bigger than I thought children could be
Not that they are fat just much taller
I never saw this happen before
But they are not children anymore
Someday they will have children of their own
Some of them already have mates picked out
Someway I will never be quite alone
I will hear my grandchildren laugh and shout
When I am old and it is getting cold
And find a meaning I have never known
God bless you today be kind to one another
God bless you tomorrow when you are a mother
