Child, woman, lover, mother, (goddess)!
you guided me through years of doubt,
protected me from sorrow
nursed me thru illness.
When I was cold
you opened your arms
and held me to your breast.
When I was sad
you spoke much wisdom
and laughter entered our home.

I've thought about this
through the years,
wondering who you really were,
who could so easily move
the parts of the me
I tried to keep hidden from the rest,
who could change my moods,
who re-directed my desires
and brought me a world
filled with wonder and love.

I suppose its quite possible
to exist not believing
the gods guide and love us.
I suppose its quite possible
to believe we do it all ourselves.
Had I never known you
perhaps I may have concluded
I was the one who steered my ship
and made it all happen.
Now I've seen the goddess in you
I can't believe that all along
you thought you were just
a man's wife!

Lovely poem as a dedication.  I do not personally believe in gods and goddessses - I believe in God.  But your poem is bright and cheery and honours someone in your life -perhaps a mother.  Very nice poem.

Superb write WindWalker. Is she the one who set you on the wind path?
