P R I C E L E S S
A soldier of a grandmother,
unconditional with the love.
Wrapped in ribbons of security,
rules and prophecies.
Reprimanded and then served treats,
moments kept deep within the heart
set to beat.
When days were sour,
the sweetness of words meant to soften the pain,
melts,
for good company loves sympathy.
A blanket to help rest the overthinking,
reassurance served to keep me breathing,
neglecting fear until it comes at another hour.
I'm a daughter's daughter
the treatment of a Princess,
nothing will ever come close
to this.
