Mother of my birth <br /> she's not. <br /> But I am her son. <br /> Never held me in her arms. <br /> But I am her son. <br /> She is my mother <br /> because she spoke to me <br /> through her poetry. <br /> And through her words <br /> I found my own voice. <br /> Maya Angelou is the mother of my poetry. <br /> And I'm her son.<br /><br />Lore Me34<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-her-son/
