I made the choice to give you life

And you gave life back to me

More than I can ever express the gifts I have from you

Affirmation of my purpose and all that I could be

Motherhood became an adventure I longed to share with you

Opening your heart you gave me love and showed me that I could

Throw off the chains of memory and be what you needed of me

Hope renewed I have lived for you, with you and always will

Every memory we have forged is a beloved chain about my heart

Racing off into the world I fear for you my child

And yet I know that you must go and walk the paths before you

I'll wait for you and watch your steps

Willing you to succeed

Opening the door when you return with new adventures to share

Run my child and don't look back until your race is done

Reach for the stars and find your destiny

You needn't know that I am a mother and I worry
