Mum led me to sleep
reading my favourite story
now at bedtime I lull myself
reading poetry---

mum is long gone
still remains my tearful memory
her tender voice I hear
as though she's still beside me.
* after Robert Louis Stevenson's A CHILD'S GARDEN OF VERSE which I read as a child  and still reading sometimes
