The Sound of Love

There is so much to be said My earliest memory, It was the sound of love It meant trust and security It set boundaries It gave comfort and refuge It championed and encouraged It cautioned It corrected and chastised More could be understood from one word Than from a whole book Unique in its familiarity And for those fortunate souls For whom, its song is still possible It means everything A mother’s voice May 13th 2018
