I saw the earth and wanted to join in the party
A vessel I needed to choose
I searched far and wide
High and low
For that one I will call mama
I found you
Oh yes I found you
But you were surrounded by others
I heard you were the best vessel out there
So many wanted you to be their mom
I thought to myself
Only if they knew
As I fought my way through
Wading through the crowd
Whilst others were clamouring
I was nesting
I was at peace
You accepted me
Your love wrapped me like a warm blanket
You nourished me
You taught me
You guided me
You counselled me
You shared my joy
You gave me a shoulder to cry on
I love you mother
Your cheerfulness
Your laughter
The vastness of your knowledge
Your compassion
I chose you mom
And if I had to do it again
I will choose you all over again
