To Know Them
Bespoke A4 Poetry Print by Tess Guinery

This poem began in those moments when motherhood feels immeasurably vast—when I sense my own capacity stretched beyond comfort, as I strive to meet the limitless needs of my children. I wanted to capture both the wonder and the unsteadiness of holding so much love, praying tenderness into every gap I cannot fill.
I drew inspiration from the notion that the heart grows when it lives “on the outside of the body,” a vivid way to describe how my love for them lives beyond my own skin. The lines map the dance of their small lives—the way they spin into the world with fearless curiosity, how each discovery echoes back into the chambers of my own heart.
Rather than aim for perfection, I set out to honor the willingness at the core of being a mother: the ongoing learning, the humility in not knowing, and the deep hope that, above all, I might be present in the way they need me most.
This piece is both confession and vow—a testament to a heart that opens wider each day in the service of its own.
