Smile my daughter my child of thirty three my girl of dirty words and runny nose my girl of tempers and kisses. What if you died, your breath a sour ball, your gross heavy chest taking its final sigh and made me free. A weed grows pluck it out who would be the mother of a monster but, there are times of splashing bubbles TV and popcorn holding hands a catching in the throat. Or what if I turned cold one morning and did not wake to your head pounding on the mattress beside me you screaming again and again MOTHER! (I am your clock your legs your conscience) Smile my daughter my child of thirty three my girl of dirty words and runny nose my girl of tempers and kisses I was empty ‘til you filled me. |

Martie, You captured an ellusive essence about the love of a child that is almost impossible in words. Excellent. |
