Mothers with no names

January 2025

Do you know your mothers?

Your mum, her names, her dreams

Do you know her mum?

Her names, her dreams and fears

She lived through surviving wars most likely

Do you know your mother’s grandma?

If you know, you are the lucky one

What do you remember about her?

Please treasure it and write it down

For your daughter and granddaughter if you have them

And if you don’t please know you are ok too

You don’t need to be a mother to be ok

Not anymore! Aren’t you lucky one again?

Your mum and her mums did not know that

I bet their mums and grandmas did not know that either

Therefore, let’s cry and smile

For the mothers with no names
