Maternal Lean

My love for you now aches with an acute, piercing concern. I feel your emotions shudder inside my own heart’s downturn. Lean on me, let me absorb your aches as maternal will not break. Sweet one, you are precious to me, I would rather all pains in this world unfurl on me than witness hurt twirling you inside downward swirls. Lean on me, let my love be a helpful-hoist seeking your right choice. Know without judgement, fear or derision, I will mindfully heart-listen to your broke bits burst in light's silent reveal of your spirit's mission. Lean on me, for I attended the same hell's multiple-themed lessons. July 24, 2018
