Marmee


 

It’s such an honor

All this power

But it makes me feel weak

I lack it so much in myself

You have it

So did she

I miss her so much

If I can be like her-

Well, it’ll show

And you’ll love it

Everyone would love it

Since she was so amazing

As are you.

I can do it.

I will give it all I have

It deserves nothing less.

I’ll treat this with honor.

It is honor.

To have this strength

Maternal is not synonymous with weak

I better get that in my brain

I surely have it in my heart.
