My child, my little arrow
Fly straight, strong, and true
As you arc away
Loosed and untethered
Toward targets of your own
You bring your many gifts
A clever mind and tender heart
Swift feet, a bright smile
And your pure, indomitable spirit
And still more, a grounding
Of my steadiness and strength
My unwavering confidence
And above all, my boundless love
For I am the bow
