The Mystery of My Mother

I walked alone, 

but I wasn't alone

in my heart beats;

I had no roots, 

but my blood called out to me,

your roots will grow one day;

And as it turns,

my blood was right, 

because I listened...

and all that has come from that:

the happiness, the joy,

the feeling of a completeness,

all the love that she inspires in me,

these things I never had,

and the terrible things that I did;

those things gone now

that we've found each other

and removed the emptiness.

And the wellspring overflows

my love coming from a source 

I now know,

no longer hidden.

The mystery of my mother

solved in all this love.
