I am the One Who was your mother.
I am the One Who agreed to bring you into this world.
We agreed to live together on this plane for as long I could manage.
I want you to be content and follow your dreams.
I want you to connect with Life because I couldn’t.
We are the ones who tell you that
you own the courage to turn the lines
handed from generation to generation
and join the jig-saw of obsolete comment
into story. We are pleased with your effort
to bring our long silence into voice.
The strengths of previous relatives course
through inherited life giving force.
