Thank you for the gift of understanding
How deep within the heart one's love can go.
A mother is the organ tone of feeling,
Now grounding us in sorrow, now in healing,
Knowing all the passion one can know.

Years of independence notwithstanding,
On you all other loves depend, revealing
Underneath our waves, your undertow.
