For fourteen years
all that I was known
was that I had a mother
I didn't know of.
And all I knew of her
was her name.
Then there came that day
when I was told of you both
but only because of her,
because she made a decision
to tell me so.

So, now I take this time

who I just came to heard of,

As I watch you develop

She screams

A sound that penetrates

The hearts of all around.
