your weakness is our greatest strength 
giving away small pieces of love 
each time growing in impact
empowering your seeds of life
to soften the blow  

life begins with you 
but only ends with the end of time 
a cheeky smile can cure all ailments 
a warm embrace can hold every child 

such is the power within you 
fermenting over the decades 
until you were ready to receive us 

such is the gratitude we owe you 
not out of shame or force 
but of genuine connection 
and ever growing love
