Heartaches of Motherhood

When I see my baby crying
and I know not the reason
nor how best I can ease the pain,
When I see my baby fussing of hunger
then see her vomitting in vain,
When I see my baby's temperature escallating
knowing
to make her well is beyond my means,
When I see my baby's eyes pleading
mummy, please ~
take away my discomfort and pain,
These, alas,
are the heartaches of motherhood.
