Poetry: A day in my life

Pink April

Today I'll buy a pink brassiere
wear under sheer white top.
Not any day would be so brash
to celebrate my breasts.
But now as April proves
my cup can yet be full.
I've need for outward sign
of what the doctor's left.

Today I'll buy pink ribbons
to turn about in bows
and join them pinned
as million others will
to celebrate woman's gift.
The sweet milk suckled
from our nipples
by tender newborn mouth
cleave two mounds of flesh
for proud bellies filled

Today I'll touch unashamed
the curve upon my chest.
What God endowed be as it is
no need to hide from me.
If it be gone to save my life
in time, as time unfolds,
I'll have memory of
the soft bare flesh
of my womanhood.

    Changing diapers to the sound
    Of freedom's wit
    Serving my country
    Proud

    Here inside this body
    Lives a ME that no one knows
    A ME that's hard to understand
    A ME I haven't chose

    To be bitter and misgiving

    The world on my shoulders, a smile on my face
    The girl in the mirror is hard to embrace
    I'm a mother of three, yet I tend to

    A day in my life
    A sky of often-grey
    A never-lifting cloud
    An endless fall of rain

    A bout of shining sun
    Playing peek-a-boo
    Between
