Before we knew light,
Before we spoke our first word,
We knew her.
Her heartbeat was the first drum we ever heard.
Her breath, the wind that wrapped around our forming bones.
Her warmth, the first sun we called our own.
She gave us a name before the world ever did.
She carried us, not just in her body—but in her dreams, her fears, her hopes.
And when we entered the world, she gave us more than life—
She gave us hers.
The elders say the mother who gives birth is not just a woman—
She is the first sky, the first shelter, the first song.
We call her Life Giver —
The One Who Carried the Beginning.
