My child.
I grew you.
I knew you with all of my thirty trillion cells.
Before yours only numbered two.
And despite differences in our consciousness and size.
My own life I would give for you.
My child.
I knew you.
I grew you under layers of my very own flesh.
And your light made that dark place new.
And while these arms still awaited the one I adored.
My soul held on firmly to you.
My child.
I’ve grown you.
I’ve known you since the dawn of time.
When our forms were of stardust pure.
And when the heavens reclaim me and I’m here no more.
Know I loved you before you were.
