Sweet Sammie

The loyal nuzzle

Of a matriarchal soul

Soothes even those

Who have nothing to offer

In return, except

For the lasting promise

That your heart

Will forever and always

Hold this delicate soul’s

Home.

Maybe that’s what love is.

Creating a space for each other.

Sometimes just being in

The other’s presence.

Not saying anything,

And not having too.

Each heart says it all
