Keeper of The Heart
Awareness and acceptance
like the keeper of the Nile
she rules with tender hands
sometimes a sweet smile
No commands, only laws
made to ease their stay
to the end of life's journey
to love patiently is her way
She too will walk this mile
her sons to ease her sleep
to reunite with these parents
who hold her now to weep
