Who is this woman
Who gave me life
Who watched me grow
In the distant memory of my youth
Who is this woman
Who taught me strength
Who taught me courage
In the early stages of my understanding
Who is this woman
Who let me go
Who knew my heart
In a time before I knew myself
Who is this woman
Who now cowers and hides
Who is fearful
In the twilight of her years
Who is this creature
Afraid and distant
She is not the woman
I once knew
