| HER FACE FILLS MY EYES |

| Return |
I am five years old and She fastened the strings of the hood under my chin. She looks at me and her face fills my eyes. My whole world is in her face. Her eyes are my shelter, Her mouth my love and rebuke, Her cheeks my comfort, Her brow my warning, Her face, The strength of my life. My mother Myrtle Elizabeth. |
