Caressing Feet

Sometimes the simple things in life say so much about someone.  Caressing aching feet reaches the heart in a way words can't, and says so much more.


I watch you pool the cream

In the palm of your hand,

Not spilling a drop of that too precious love.

That movement massaging and

Gently spreading the love

From your heart and your soul.

Your gentle fingers stroking,

Moving so softly,

So smoothly,

Holding your breath of love

In your hands

And I wonder, are you remembering

Each and every gentle

Moment of care and caress,

Each motherly act which

Breathed, “I love you my precious”?
