The treasure I find within another,
My Mother –
For she enlightened me –
Lit the fire in me
Each rising Sun
Is another reason – for me to be a Son,
See I am Her,
But stronger I may be –
For she cannot bear to look up at me,
I Am An Object,
A pawn if you will,
And my master has decided my fate,
But I never deem it too late
Each rising sun – she may wish for a son,
But I lay here – eager – and
For I bear the gift she is searching for –
Her treasure
Is my treasure
Yet she remains unbothered
And soon enough – my treasure will be forgotten
