My mom & I.

She lays upon you
This new life
So innocent
It hurts to think
So soon, too soon
She’ll have to be hurt
Learn her lessons
Be broken

She closes her eyes
Drifts off to sleep
So tiny, so fragile
It’s hard to imagine
Her out in the world
Without being crushed to pieces

But she can do it
As she grows
You teach her right
Know what she needs
That little new life
May break away
But never will she forget

She isn’t lost
Because it’s her you found
On the other side
Of the universe
You think she forgets
Forgets it all
The good, the bad
The gray

But when life pushes her down
You build her back up
You make her

PERFECT
IN
EVERY
WAY.
