--For Kim,
Warm, soft breath against her breast,
Swaddled tightly, a love none like the rest.
Unconditional love from first breath,
she’ll never leave him, even in death.
Silently she whispers, calming his fears
her soft hand gently wiping his tears.
Her presence meek but never mild,
for there is no other love like a mother has
for her child.
--Angela Burdett
