I am the mother.

I am the mother.

So listen up,

Let me be clear.

You don't owe me anything.

You can't soothe my fear.

I am the mother.

You can't heal my heart.

It's not yours to fix.

This role not your part.

I am the mother.

My pain is my own.

My practice is inward.

I've created this home.

I am the mother.

I value your life.

Your future is yours.

You choose what is right.

I am the mother.

I will step back and allow.

I'm here to support you with great,

Perfect,

And wow.

I am the mother.

It's not necessary to be proud,

Not necessary to judge,

Or speak my undying love aloud.

I am the mother,

The unconditional giver,

The presence of always,

Pure radiant river.

I expect nothing.

I will sit by and wait.

This patience and grace,

It's alive and awake.
