When I came
Into this world
And my feet
First touched
The soil
It did not occur to me
To toil
For all the pleasures
Of this world
All I wanted
Was the security
Of connection
Milk
And a nest
In which
To rest
Oh Mother
When I yearn
To return
Home
What sacrifice
Can I make
How can I pave
My way
To You
What a silly
Thing to say
For none of this
Was ever mine
Anyway
But here I am
Human
Holding on tight
To what I claim
As mine
Asking
What
And how
And I find my answer
In the now
My Mother
My God
Oh Source
Of my Nurture
I give to you
My past
I give to you
My future
I give to you
My attachments
The me
I have spent years
Building up to be
God
I give you
My trust
And with
Simple delight
I see
It was this trust
I was searching for
This trust
That was calling
To me
Mother
My sacrifice today
Is the withholding
Of trust
In you
And in me
My sacrifice today
Is the constant
Trying to see
What is
To be
My eyes settle
From the horizon
Onto the seed
Of We
My hands settle
To the cultivation
Of what our Love
Can bring
And my voice settles
Into the celebration
Of the songs our Love
Forever
Sings
