Essential love

How selflessly had she spared her comforts --

sleep or Tv or whatever else there could be

as entertainment.

 

She attended upon the delicate soul

just exposed to the winding ways of the world.

And the journey through those ways.

 

Oh, how difficult!

The fragile soul cried out loud

because the difficulties seemed quite overwhelming --

the pang of hunger

or when it couldn't sleep.

 

Then, with enough care, 

and enough love;

she handled it,

and taught it to be strong

enough to travel through the winding ways of the world.
