Mother Lines

[liquidhuman]

Mother lines. That's what my midwife called the deep red ruts in my belly, transforming them from eyesores to marks made from love. And I try to remember how my saggy belly housed you for forty-one weeks and three days. How it nourished you and soothed you as you listened to my heartbeat. Here you formed and fused and grew. These marks are badges

Your "mother lines" only make you more beautiful. You created life, our little child sprang forth from you!! Your body may have changed but it's by no means less attractive!!! I feel like I'm married to a goddess, you create life from nothing!!!!
