Dear Balun

Every night we kiss and say I love you...... that leads to our whispers, our thoughts and we send all of our worries floating out your window. We close our eyes and find those worries inside, sometimes imagining them as a colour. We collect all of that colour inside us and release it, it floats out the window and breaks, disappears so that it can never be strong and connect again.

You then bring me close and say in my ear, I love you mum.

My fingers and thumb run through your hair and we prepare to rest so we can conquer our fears for tomorrow, prepare our dream boats to set sail and slide down deep under the cover..

We feel safe when we are close and our hearts are protected.

Oh, I love you xx
