She caresses my finer sensibilities
on days they are barraged by ugliness.
Her love a salve,
her laugh the soft cloak,
I wrap around myself in the moments
hours
of ever questioning, mothering need.

You have beautiful daughter. I like the way she smile.
Karen, your poem is really beautiful. You should write more of it.
Maxine – from you, that is truly an honour x
