A mother's lap

Alabaster mama. Bronze baby.
Oh no, not another mama/baby. Oh, yes, but this one is different. The trick here was creating a baby that would stay on her/his mama's lap. I was worried I would need to use velcro or double sided tape so the baby would not keep falling off. However, no need. The baby when placed carefully, is perfectly balanced and does not fall off his/her mama's lap. Success.

This sculpture is in honor of a certain mama
Whose babies are prone to plenty of drama
and certainly trauma
If they are not in her arms or her lap.
They are no longer dissolved
and all is resolved.
As long as she wraps them around her.

So mama beware
They require only your care
because nobody else can compare
To the one they want most.

So when you are accosted
and even exhausted
By two full throated wee ones
Keep in mind that for all of mankind
The arms and the lap of a mother
can turn whines into smiles like no other.
Especially that young sister and brother.
