Nurture by Alex Townsend
The Caretaker,
The strong hull of a warship,
The strength of many, confined in one.
The gentle touch of warmth after a cold night.
You provided us all with your safety.
You softened my view of the world.
The pain was yours to bear.
The lessons however, will not depart,
Safely stored inside my heart.
Remembered forever.
