matriarch

the matriarch, 
now tired and weak 
hugs me tightly 
as I turn to leave 
the bond that secured,
gone many nights 
six years hidden 
from both of our sights 
still, I remain, 
from love and respect 
the child has grown, 
that one you first met 
the common denominator 
from those past years 
still holds fast,
and will keep me near
