With what maternal feelings
do I link your other siblings
who suckled this same breast
but now other arms found rest?
To bring joy to homes famished
my wet bosom you are banished
but you will remain in my mind
I pray good foster may you find
in the Underground Railroad days
when sad family ties parted rays
passages of uncertainties dimmed
this same stubborn hope beamed
how deep is my love in maternity
this swap to connect in paternity?
doubt not my deep maternal instinct
in the need of material turned extinct
to nurture your sisters who may starve
farewell, a new niche you must carve
if in selflessness I may now fall short
virtue out of necessity I take as fort.
