I hold your hand when we walk
and then gently kiss you when you start to talk.
Then you shy away and cuddle me light,
As though you are telling me, I will stand by you, in your every fight.
I remember, the shine of joy in your eyes
when you sight a rabbit, a deer or a butterfly
these packets of memories I keep in my heart
I open them at times when it is dark.
How memories like dolphins swim in my mind
your beautiful smile, your gentle kiss, your words of kind.
without you my emotions and myself are in utter shatters
Because; because, you matter .
