Do you see what
I see? I look at you And you look at me Do you see now the girl That you used to be? You look at me And I see in your face That you know that your life Is not at my pace. When did you know And when did I see That the girl that was you Is now living through me? You still look the same But surely I've changed? From the daughter I was To this carer who pains That our roles be reversed, Your needs met, not mine, Past and future now merged By the passage of time. But still we both feel Inextricably tied By this bond that lives on Between young and old lives. I look at you And you look at me, Do you still see the girl That you used to be? Although you are there But absent in mind, Your presence still lives By the blood ties that bind A daughter and mother Together whatever, One to the other Forever and ever. |
