I did not conceive you but I can conceive the being you are becoming.
\nI did not birth you, but I see you born again each day you wake.
\nI did not nourish you from my breast but can with the food of the earth and care of my heart.
\nI did not watch you grow from a child but see you grow in body, mind and spirit as a miraculous being.
\nI did not send you to school, and can only teach you what I know from a loving heart and intuitive mind.
\nI did not send you off into the world, but I cherish your being in this world.
\nIt is not up to me to make you anything other than who you are.
\nYou are a perfect being.
\nI am your guide, teacher, healer and lover.
\nI see you from an open heart with loving eyes and pray one day you are, in Grace, the being I see but could not create because… I am not your mother.<\/p>\n
