Awakening of a mother (2017)

Awakening of a Mother

You were born of me

I call you mine

But I must remember

You have come through me

... you are your own, not mine

A being

With a path of your own

A journey your very own

For all those delicate moments

And countless fragile emotions

The delights and the butterflies

Yearnings to chart your flight

For all those aches and pain

And numerous impossible transitions

Tearings of growth and stretching

Making things happen with passion

Lest I think you are responsible

I must remember

You are a window

To a view, I else may not have viewed

Our paths enmeshed so fine

One ply ,it may appear

But you have only come through me

I have 'become' through you

you are your very own

I must remember

As I be, Me
