LINES OF THOUGHT © 2015

Lady, allow me to rest my head upon your chest,

To recall the love of my mother dear,

In your embrace, I find the way to best

Revive the affection that never disappears.

There’s a longing that dwells within me,

A yearning for a lost lap to hold,

And in your breast, perhaps I might see

That I can feel once more the love of old.

The warmth of a love so profound,

That only a mother's breast can provide,

Is what I seek in this vast ground,

And in you, the wish to find and abide.

Lady, upon your chest, I rest my heart,

So that, for a moment, I may smile and restart.
