Abstract

'Umma' is the Korean word for mother. In this poem I explore themes of faith and skepticism regarding my mother's (largely religious) belief in new life/new beginnings. However, over time, I watch as my mother's perseverence pays off and I express the regret I have for doubting this faith.
