Finger on the Pulse of Motherhood!

This is simply an outstanding collection of poetry on the feelings of love a mother feels for her child - whether that relationship is biological or adopted and ranging in age from a child in utero to a teenage child. It manages to accurately describe situations and emotions without the sappy "greeting card" prose you find all too often in poetry on motherhood and it also avoids the cynical, sarcastic and often caustic interpretations of motherhood found so frequently in modern literature. I highly recommend this book for new mothers and experienced mothers alike!
