every now and then

this morning in the dark
least expected
i run into one of these
placed not to miss
from last to leave

ink reaching and wrapping this mama heart
with tender sentiments
read again not to miss one single word

other expressions
lurking close by
just in case i forget
once held by hands
always adored
pulling me in
holding me captive
this mother's treasure
saved and savored for so long

coming full circle

such generous kindness
feeling humbled
blessed
honored
to belong
