Circle

 Circle


A circle circles roundabout

and finds a way to neatly close

without a pause or any doubt.

You’re smiling, Mother, I suppose


for now it’s mine to hold the hand

to soothe the ego, slightly bruised,

to wipe away the tear drops and

repeat the phrases often used …


“My little one, ignore the pain,

tomorrow brings another dawn.

No roses grow without the rain.

Until the fear and pain are gone


I’ll hold you close, encircle you

as circles must, as parents do."
