will you remember
rocking gently within
being wrapped up in my womb
my arms clutching you tenderly
will you know i loved you
and how i cried for us
when i couldn’t save myself
as my death was the only way for you to live
will you grow up
missing me
needing me
happy despite me being gone
will you ache
to know who i was
for my loving advice
on your wedding day
will you choose to
manage without me
live a spectacular life
show my sacrifice was not in vain
will you go on and be
all that i dreamed of
a force to be reckoned with
even without me

Thank you, Gary!
