I’m passing along
What was passed to me.
But, I get a say.
That’s the gift. You see?
This clicked as I shared
What I know, with my child.
It suddenly struck me.
So simple yet wild!
From my brain to hers.
I was proud that she got it.
And, I realized right then.
She learned, and I taught it.
And, from my Mom and Dad,
I learned the same way.
So, they’re teaching through me.
And, through her one day.
May she then realize
Her strength and her voice;
That we’re coming through her,
But that she has the choice.
