Am i ready

Mom tell me if i am ready
am i ready to do what you did
can i do as good as you did

Mom tell me if i am strong enough
am i strong enough for the pain that will come
can i stand as strong as you have

Mom tell me if i am brave enough
can i be as brave as you
and face this world with all it evil and good

Mom tell me when you look at me
do you see the women i become
do you see yourself in me

because i am about to take everything
you have taught me and showed me
and teach it to my child

am i ready?
