Thank you

For in you, I have the entirety—
the entirety of my existence.
I find my paths etched on your palms,
my future reflected in your dreams,
my values shaped by your whispered prayers.

I feel no fear within me,
for I look outward—towards you.
The legs you stand upon
bear the weight of my own being.

But unlike the universe—
vast, unending, everlasting—
my fear lies in your limits:
the day your presence ceases,
and with it, mine.

For a woman brought me into this world,
but you were the one who gave it meaning.
Thank you, Mom.
