I carry you like my heart
I drink in your laughter
before my morning coffee
I wear your smile
as a cloak on rainy days
You are my own sun
No suitcase is big enough
to hold my love for you,
but as you were packing,
I slipped some in between
your socks and shirts
to lighten your load.

Oh, won't babymouse be happy to find the hearts, to be reminded of the love. Lucky.
"I wear your smile
as a cloak"
I love that and the ending in this is perfect...I like that the love is slipped in between the socks!! Great write Lola Mouse! Hugs about your daughter...gathered from your comment on Kerry's blog.
smiles...you capture the feel of being a parent...the love nad hope...and how we get as much from them as they us...
This is an excellent angle on the prompt, written from the viewpoint of the one who remains behind when a loved one takes a trip away from home.
Oh that is so touching and beautiful and heart-prickling. She will likely have a few happy tears when she finds your love tucked away. I love "I carry you like my heart". Yes, that is what we do, with our daughters. Beautiful lolamouse!
This is just absolutely sweet.
Very nice! This inspires me to be a parent or father in my 70's. Tony Randall did it why can't I?
Have a wonderful 4th, mi amiga
What a loving tribute! Love does indeed lighten the loads!
Oh my gosh how precious! She will love it!
This is so sweet!
The in-between holds us one to the other. enjoyed.
oh my this must made me burst into tears!
Awwww - so sweet.
Definitely a girl after my own heart. Isn't slipping in those little notes and chocolate kisses (unless it was hot - the kisses would melt) the best part of motherhood? I still put funny little images, etc., in Riley's care packages, and she's 24!
Sweeter than a Dove Bar, and twice as good for the waistline! Amy
smiles and sweetness :)
