With Motherly Affection

she talks to me - eye to eye outside church doors in the cool night air how lovely this lady who has children all her own Her arms goose bump bare and my heart strings pull - i say to her, “i just want to warm you up” and she smiles behind her glasses hair done up in a pony tail how blessed i am we hug as friends much more than that we complement one another

Thank you! Sometimes I write current events and this moment touched me so! I've not been like some that wish my children to stay a child forever but I just enjoy every moment and I am not disappointed! Blessings, Maurice!
