Heredity
Remember me, dearest girl when you hold an infant dependant on you.
When you bathe her tiny feet a hand on her hip her belly resplendent.
And remember that I wanted to teach you all I knew and believed to be true,
The desire to protect and hold so strong and yet, secretly hoping you would rebel and set your own mark upon the world.
