Refuge

When your kids come to you
In the middle of the night
Unable to sleep
Haunted by nightmares a persistent cough unnamed fears

What can you do but comfort them' get them meds' water' blankets' lie beside them' draw on their backs

Like a tree that spreads its branches wide to provide refuge for birds and bees
A mother opens her arms to her little children
