For Nancy
Don't be alarmed, Mom.
Don't be ashamed.
I'm still your baby,
And I'm still the same.
Feelings come quickly--
Some pass you by.
I feel a stillness
In not asking why.
There's a road that's divided in two,
All of us here have to find.
Most everyone goes the same way as you,
Just love me as I go mine.
And don't be alarmed, Mom.
Don't be ashamed.
I'm still your baby,
And I'm still the same...
