You were there, I know you were
the left side of my brain tells me so
I can still feel your breast against my cheek
it will forever be a memory of tomorrow for me

I know you must remember
how could you ever forget
has it plagued you as it has me
those ideal plans of yesterday

To a new life across the raging ocean
leaving the pristine blue sea behind
did you find what you were looking for?
did what you were looking for find you?

We can never have what we should have had
nor can we ever be what we could have been
today I can see it so very clearly
today is only what we would make of it

By the way, what shall I call you
by your first name or perhaps another
does some of this confusion ever befall you
You alone truly are my own
you alone are my life giving Mother
