Alisa's (my mom's) poem



I Have Become and Continue to Become
by Alisa Greenbacher, who is 41 years old 
 
In seven short weeks
I have become a mother of a daughter
who is becoming herself
 
a daughter
 
Become the daughter of a grandmother
who is becoming herself
 
a grandmother
 
Become the daughter of a grandfather
who is becoming himself
 
a grandfather
 
Become the wife of a father
who is becoming himself
 
a father.
 
How one new life
has brought us into these new ways
of being our newselves
 
and we are always
becoming
becoming










Thank you, alisa! you can do this too!
