Josephine

Slowed by the heat, the distance
The circumstance. 
The wonder of strength
Love, loyalty, life in service
Care to caretakers
Whose moonlighting days
Are far long gone. 
Mother, may I treat you in trust, in love
In dignity?
This daughter serves in stoicism
Direct and persevering. 
Committed to the length of her road. 
Built tough, determined, 
Unfailing. 

Time, trading these travelers 
Weary yet unwavering
To sleep in the softness of their duty, performed.
