“Tomorrow, Mother”
You tuck me in bed and I am made safe
A kiss to carry me to the land of dreams
Hold tight to dear teddy
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Mother.”
Days go by like every other.
Words of fire and ice and warm wind.
Do we stop to think that our footsteps are erasing behind us?
Would we love differently if we knew it then?
Sing a sweet lullaby; fill my head with memories
And I will place you with dreams you set me so safely before.
Touching you now, my ghost to yours
It’s a silver mirror we see through
Reflecting back our sensations but giving birth to none new.
I’ll tuck you in bed and pray you are safe.
A kiss to carry you to the land of dreams.
Hold tight to dear God.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Mother.”
