Caretaker of you is what I am
Holding you close, away from harm
Instructing you to live out your dreams
Loving you deeply, however life seems
Developing your smile and witty charm

How we all hope that our children benefit from our introduction of the world to them to be kind and fair to all those that they meet. I haven’t tried an acrostic in years Vivian …perhaps one day!

This reaches backward and forward, I find, as I am not a mother but I am someone’s child. Sweet memories.

A child conjures lots of reasons to think about in terms of tributes, more so when love is thrown in!
