Message For My Mother

Mother, when I hear your voice, I have this feeling, that I'm safe and sound, that no one will be able to touch me. When I feel your presence, I know that you will never forget me, never leave me. But if there really is a day, that we have to separate paths, I wish you the best of luck, but I have this feeling that you will never truly leave me. Then, when I feel your shadow, I will feel like a child again, feel young and small, like a shadow of you, just when I feel your shadow. So I hope you will understand, that I love you, but I am not a child anymore, I have grown up. So when I spread my wings, and fly, I hope you will forgive me, for not saying good-bye, for there is no good-bye to say, because you have etched yourself into me.
