I Learn

I wake,

I see,

I feel love.

How can that be?

Do I know love?

Is it what I see?

It’s Mother,
I see surrounding me.

What are hands?

They caress me and
lift me to the sky it seems.

A warm body,
a squeeze,
it must be love
that touches me.

A smell I remember
from the time before,
when Mother sat with
me on the floor.

I learn fast the things
she says, because it’s love,
that Mother has.
