tennessee



the warm comforting
smell of aloe in the summertime
her warm comforted embrace
made me feel at peace
she often visited exotic places
to return to a sanctuary of her own
an artisan in the kitchen creating
joy with old fashioned treats
the brightest eyes, the kindest heart
I've ever known your love
a sacred souvenir I've held on
to through the years
