Delicate Beings

You delicate being inside a body, I am the delicate being whose body built (with assistance) your body. A body I wash. A body I hold. A body I nourish. I will do my best to protect your body until you can help, until you can care for it yourself. I will tend to your wide belly, your skinny limbs, your soft mouth, your nose, ears, and dark blue eyes. I will tend to you and then I will follow you as you form your own wild river life.
