With Shaking Hands (Villanelle)

 

She holds her child with shaking hands

as motherhood becomes her role

life has a way of changing plans

 

while no one fully understands

she struggles not to lose control

She holds her child with shaking hands

 

with hurried vows and wedding bands

but marriage never was her goal

life has a way of changing plans

 

so as the family expands

and she resolves to pay the toll

She holds her child with shaking hands

 

but with the increase in demands

she struggles not to lose her soul

She holds her child with shaking hands

life has a way of changing plans
