I have done nothing right
except to watch you grow,
so beautifully into the beings
you are and always were.
I have done nothing right
except to leave you the fuck alone,
all the while as I fed you
and nurtured you
and protected you
and fought with every ounce
of my body
of my soul
to let you have the rights
that are your rights
that are your being.
I have done nothing right
except to love you
for who you are
and not who I want you to be,
to be there for you
you gorgeous people,
my children,
my colleagues,
my heart beats.
I love you.
I love you.
