Whispered Comfort

Tender loving strokes through my hair so reassuring so comforting like the voice that coos in my ear so loving so gentle the whisper of a mother's comfort so strong so warm gently soothing away the anxiety her voice comforts and hides the tears that gently roll down her cheeks as she trys to sooth her own ache with those of the child she cradles and how comforting, warm and safe is that whisper as it lifts me off to peaceful dreams where only fitful sleep had dwelled so dark so painful but like the whisper of a familiar voice so loved so tender it has the power to calm all fears.
