By love I came to be
Life left its navel scar
My mother to her son
To mark the moment I
Arrived though she has gone
Compass and natal star
Her gift of life to me
A link within the chain

Though I have fallen far
So I have risen high
And so I fall to rise
Still higher than before
And so I realize
That I was meant to soar
The higher for the fall
Which lifts me after all

The wheel of destiny
Turns slowly one to one
Unending unbegun
Life left its navel scar
My mother to her son
Compass and natal star
And so I rise again
A link within the chain

By love I came to be

There is a word in Finnish which best describes the thought and feeling in this poem. That word is Ihana. English translations don't touch it because it's so much more thana word! This poem is Ihana!

Love ya!

I find gentleness in these lines, and images, as a mother, I appreciate. I like "Unending unbegun" and "The higher for the fall/Which lifts me after all" now that is a profound clause! ~~ Diana
