Shortly I will leave you in my following a Calling 
 	you enabled me to hear.
 And I am troubled by a guilt in my abandonment
 	of you who gave me birth.
 I owe you my allegiance, my devotion in return for
 	all the love you gave me
 Yet from the start you pointed me to another Love,
 	the Truth, reflected in your life
 You turned my eyes from your light to the One Light
 	of your passion
 You midwifed me to second birth
 	A child of God's creating
 And we became as brother, sister -- love of God reflecting
 	in our love for one another
 You taught me all the dangers of attempts to make your love
 	into an idol of devotion
 You raised me not as your possession but in all ways 
 	a child of God alone
 Before I had a choice to make you saw that I was baptized
 	into the Body of God's weaving
 So now I realize that in my faithfulness to God
 	I live my gratitude to you
 I leave you not with heavy heart because I know the Spirit
 	dwells within us, three, binding us together
 Our common Father, Mother, Christ Child calling us to be
 	the children of God's family
