One Life
One life can make all the difference,
change the world, entirely.
The new life you helped create
is that one life for you, my son.
This one new life will awaken your goodness,
generosity and capacity to love in breadth
and magnitude you never knew could exist.
This one new life will incite such joy so as
to illuminate the world and inspire generations.
And I am growing as well because
of this one new life,
in gentle gratitude and deep knowing.
For me, that one new life was you,
and what you generated within me still
continues to thrive and expand.
Thank you, dear one, for being and
continuing to be that one new life for me.
