Dear Mother,
When I was all alone
you gave me comfort,
when I was sick and sorry
you gave me warmth.
When I was too tired to walk
you carried me.
I appreciate these things
though that time has long gone.
And now when I rise in the morning
my legs are strong
on the Earth
and I know the job was done well.
You were the first, and best doctor
of my heart
and its wishes.
I thank you.
