"I am living in your shadow
Yet you brought me into the light."

Love,
I am made by love.
I am alive in you because of love.
I am living because you showed me what is love.

I could never ask for more.
You love me before I become my own.
The pain you endure for me to live
And the sacrifices you showed for me to grow.

Care,
I am full of tender care.
I am strong because of your care.
I exist because you showed me the true meaning of care.

In my youth,
You stayed by my side.
Teaching me what is right.
And comfort me when I shout in fright.

You are always beside me,
Even when you are away.
You have been my shadow for all my days.
And walks with me into the path I may take.

The shadow that pushes me to believe.
The shadow that guides me to love.
The shadow that provides me tender care.
I dedicate this to you, my mother.
