Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Shh, I'Ll Make It Go Away

I remember so clearly a day
                   when Mommy made it go away
When every hurt and every pain
       with just her tender touch, would wane

When sting of bitter snow filled chill
      wrapped in her arms, would melt at will
And when her enigmatic smile
             could make me sit still all the while

I remember so fondly a day
           when Mommy knew just what to say
And every lesson yet unlearned
          forewarned, to not let me get burned 

Some days when I feel cold inside
               the days when I just want to hide 
I wish that Mommy still could say
                          Shhh, I'll make it go away
