Little Susie, I love you.
You are my child, you are me.
The warmth of my heart
The pride of my spirit.
I will hold you always -
I am here for you,
And my future is there for me.
We are one across time -
The child seeking nurture
The adult seeking knowledge
The being seeking life
The sage seeking understanding.
You are me and one
You are precious, as I am precious.
You are loved as I am loved.
You are the root of me -
The good me, the strong me,
The kind and loving me.
And I am the product of you -
The lost you, the lonely you,
The questioning you.
Together we have a soul,
Together we have a spirit,
Together we are finally one
And we are us and we are whole.
Together we are bonded for tomorrow,
And for all time.
