Two Moms by Karen Heywood One gave you the gift of life, the Other deals with all your strife. One once watched your baby steps, the Other now tries to prep you for life and what's in store – A job the One could do no more. And so the Other dries your tears, laughs with you, and quells your fears. Teaches you what's wrong and right, and tucks you safely in at night. Although she'll never be the One, she's kept you safe when day is done.

Karen Heywood writes non-fiction, poetry, stage and screenplays in the voice of every woman – a voice inherited from her great-grandmother who wrote sheet music during the Depression.  Karen resides in Sturgeon, MO with her husband of 31 years, Paul, and their four adopted children.  She is the mother of six, Nana of three (soon to be four), foster mother of many, and is pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at Stephens College in Columbia, MO.
