Ruth
The first mother you chose
hid you in her womb
for as long as she could.
You have her eyes, her smile
her sorrow.
She held you for a week
before she brought you
to the lily pond, knowing
that kindness would find you
Panzi Wu.
The second one you chose
dreamt of you for years,
before she set out
on the long journey
to the lily pond.
She will ignite
your smile. She will
take your mother's sorrow,
and remember.
She will call you Ruth.
Panzi-wu means 'abandoned by the lily pond'.
Ruth is Hebrew for sorrow.
