A mother wrapping her arms around her child
The child sinking into the warmth
These feelings that appear so magical to you
In the moment, you feel loved
Untouchable
Life spinning you around its looping wheel
You, who once thought it was gentle
Are now getting spun this way and that
So brutally
Do you still think you’re untouchable?
Anger seeps in as you think back
To the hug mother gave so easily then
Instead, she tells you
“Face it head-on”
Where’s the hug now warm mother??
