For My Mother’s Eyes

Release me, Dear Mom Your gentle touch thrills me still My heart satisfied My stomach full

Release me, Dear Love Let your motherhood sail My feet hold me now My thoughts enabled

Release me, Dear One, Your lessons firmly within me As you made sure Paths now before me

Release me, Dear Mother, Nurture-hood is motherhood Spotless you were Dress myself well now

Release me, Dear Angel, Pointing me to the stars Set the sails for high Clearly see the wind

Release me, Oh Great One, Your eyes forever upon me Beyond the stars Echoes your cosmic breath And finds me well
