Which Book Is This Poem Inspired By?

-

Little girls who wake up to colorful hooked rugs placed carefully on clean cool floors will come to no harm when they lay their head on pillows at night.

Clean windows and redbirds taunting, sleeping dogs, and breakfast on chipped china but not paper. Little girls with mothers who worry will sleep soundly not know a care.

She thinks it would be a day to run away if she did not love them so, adventure awaits and will embrace her when the time is right.

She delights in fake choices like which ribbon to wear in her hair, which adventure to take within the confines they set for her.

A clean world for a treasure, at least for now.

Sometimes it hurts, but so much less than I expected a few months ago when I was lost in the pain.      This is such a relief.       And that is all I wanted to say today.  If anyone experiences this, and needs to chat I am here sometimes just talking about it helps you climb over the mountain.
