I wait upon the love that waits for meUnknowing as I grow within the womb,The creature of an unheard harmonyBetween the voices of my dawn and doom.Half of me is you: how strange! Yet moreUncanny is the fact that we are two.I live within a room whose only doorFor good or ill must open onto you.Be there for me, father*, in your heart,As I for you will be the child you will.Play with all your love the father’s* part,And I will with my love your dreams fulfill.I will rebel, of course, but pay no mind:Years of love will stand against the wind.*(For a mother, change to “mother” and “mother’s.”)
