Links of the Heart

Smooth touch close to the heart
The light pressure to check for symptoms
The warmth of heat that comes to feel
Her whimsical methods of breath
She can hear the slowness of peace
No strife or anger in the voice
A motivation that pulls the sickness away
She listens to every pain and sorrow
Mothers never stray from her children's voice
Always ready to feed, to listen
A cough concerns her will an intuition
Caring without notice, that is mother
She understands the scar that lays 
Even when silent she knows her child
Every word every smile and giggle
It gets absorbed by listening with care
Mother always looks and never delays
If delayed it is that she was listening
The obvious is her way to track
Listening to the beckoning calls 24/7
