Motherhood....

"A Colicky Night"
"A girl is innocence playing in the mud,
Beauty standing on its head,
and
Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot."
~Alan Beck

My youngest daughter is mother to
four beautiful children. Their ages
range from seven years, down to
nine months old.
Our daughters do grow up,
and I love watching
as she organizes her home,
and assigns responsibilities and chores
to the little ones.
I suppose there's a bit of "de ja vu"
-
I remember this same scenario
from a few years back.
Playing with her baby dolls, she practiced
for such a time as this.

The painting (does not resemble her)
but inspired by her gentle and tender
caring for her babies.....
and there have been a few colicky nights.
