my friends all had one child or two, their lives seemed full and good;
and there was nothing else to do but find you,if I could.

and snuggled as I stroked your hair, and you became my child.

I hope that you are reconciled to have the secret known;
that you are Mother's chosen child, my child and mine alone.
