20150405: a poem for S - Only you can be you.

Only you can be you - for S


when i look into your eyes

i see myself look back

when i hear your voice

i hear your mother

when she was young

when i see your walk

i see my own mother

when she was younger


but you are not us

you are you

and while what you do

is a collection of our ways

what you do and say

is only you - purely you


be brave like my mother

be strong like your mother

be clever like me

but always be you


because only you

can be you

there is only one

who is only you

only you can be you
