Dear Mother

"i shall be saying this with a sigh"
Robert Frost, the road less traveled



dear mother,

kiss me as you tuck me in at night

kiss me in the dark when i'm scared

hold me tight and kiss away my cold

dear mother,

when i grow up

i'll cherish every kiss you ever gave

and remember the ones i washed away




karen croft
give me a kiss, mommy
