Possibilities

What lies in store for you, my love?

What does the future hold?

Will you be learned and wise, my love?

Will you do brave deeds and bold?

Will you be a teacher, my  love -

Young minds to nurture and guide?
Will you take to the law, my love
And over a courtroom preside?

Will you take to the sea, my love,
Seek out far, distant lands?
Will medicine be thy calling, love,
Healing power in your hands?

Whatever fate may bring, my love,
Of this you can be sure,
You will make me oh, so proud, my love,
For nothing can obscure
The bond twixt mother and child, my love.
This mighty love will endure!
