You were the first to give me life through my body.
You were the first to show me love in this new world.
You were the first to guide me through the valleys.
You were the first to lead me over the mountains of my young life.
You were my first unconditional kiss of Love.
You were my first touch of unwavering protection.
You were my first smell of sweetness.
You were the nourishment my being needed to grow.
My eyes locked with yours in pure light.
My small being softened by the sound of your voice.
My beloved Mum,
Now, let me be your eyes through which the light shines.
Let me be your voice that softens the hearts that have hardened.
Let me be your touch that holds the hurt of every broken child.
Let me be the nourishment every being needs so much.
Please be my guide as you have been from the very beginning.
In deep gratitude and love,
Your Child
