POETRY FOR INCLUSION
Through and through they are matriarchal peacekeepers
sagacious stewards of grace
compassionate counselors
And some seasons
mourners of offspring’s early departure
consolers during postpartum period
advocates for the child that is unseen
Moreover they
yearn for perpetual growth
pine for restorative peace
pray for impartial love
