1.Although a Daughter,I Write This as a Mother
Copyright by
Nicholas Gordon
Although a daughter,I write this as a mother.
We're both mothers now,of child-daughters:
You,a grandmother forced to be a mother,
And I,a widow,alone with my fatherless daughter.
Death has thus shaped both our lives in ways
We would not have chosen.Yet life is still the bright,
Painfully lovely thing it was always:
Our children like dancers on a dark,splendid night,
Needing our loves as I needed yours; your love
The same song as ever,a lullaby I remember
So well from my time in your arms.We move
In slow spirals towards the stars.September
Has weeks like June,yet is closer to the fall.
Love has no answers,yet its beauty answers all.
2.Before I Was Myself,You Made Me,Me
Copyright by

Before I was myself you made me,me
With love and patience,discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.
Before I was myself you made me,me
With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.
Before I was myself you made me,me,
And being good and wise,you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.
For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me,me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.
