In this memory you are the provider, caregiver, the mother.

You cushion me with a soft white blanket.

I feel your loving lips gently peck my forehead.

You care for me like a mother bird cares for her chick.

You always held me when I was scared and when I cried.

Your love is priceless to me.

You would cover me with your sweater, it smelled nurturing.

I wish I didn’t grow up.

You would reprimand me when I brought dogs into the house.

You would go out in the cold for me.

Your hands gently spoke to me during my fear.

You live in a cloud of admiration for me.
