I must be numb
To this pain I feel
I must remember to breathe.
Come hold me my son
With cheeks so round
And your eight years of wisdom.
Place your head
Across my chest
Listen to the whispers of my heart.
Honour the oath
Both of you have made
In secret, in me.
To be gentle with me
As I have promised
To nurture you.
