I hesitate to go into her room
I don't want to wake her
But I want to bring her clothes into her room
Make sure she is ready for tomorrow
The lights are off
She is still awake
Peacefull
She looks at me with those big brown eyes
She is snuggled in her blanket
I check to make sure she is not wet
Give her lots of kisses
She smiles at me
I Choose her clothes for the next day
A matching grey outfit
Cute little shoes
Place them at the end of her bed
Quietly close her dresser
I get into bed with her
As she curls into my arms
Her tiny body barely taking any space
She looks at me once more and smiles
Her long eyelashes flutter
And she drifts off into a deep sleep
As I hold her tight in my arms
I am grateful
She is my mother
