Motherhood

I crossed paths with a lady one of these days.
She was working and there was a baby carrier near.
I spotted inside a pair of bright blue little eyes under some blonde hair. It was a boy, around 3 year old.

I asked the woman if that was her child.
She stopped what she was doing and while she answered me with a calm & confident ‘Yes he’s my son’, she assumed a different posture. She looked pleased, proud & tall suddenly, as if adding a ‘And I am quite proud of that fact’.

It got me thinking about her posture.

As a man I will never know exactly how it feels (I would naturally just be acquainted with its male version one way or the other). However, perhaps music can uncover that.

Rumour has it this music is about a mother who lost her son. I would also add that George Michael here showed he had amazing lower tones, which I don’ recall ever having heard in his performances. And that is a shame — for us, that is.
