You made me a mother.
You patiently watched and waited
As I learned to find my feet
Walked, then ran.
We grew together, you and I.
We navigated it all
Side by side
Learning, adapting.
We found our way in the strange new world.
You were my focus,
My North star.
You've taken it back,
That gift given so many years ago.
The skys are stormy,
I can no longer navigate.
I try to help you, guide you,
You push me back,
Further and further away.
I stumble once more,
Blindly searching for the way out.
I call out but you don't hear me.
You've moved on and I'm alone again,
With only the fading memories of better times.
