(Guided by Poetry Unbound's prompt)
Purchased online from Frog and Toad, Providence
Resting nearby, on my nightstand
Others may call it frivolous
But only it soothes the dry skin's cracks
It rests near my bed, on the nightstand
Scented lotion wrapped in London scenes
Only it knows how to soothe my heart's cracks
To others, just a purse filler (and emptier)
Cath Kidston hand cream, wrapped in London scenes
I reach for it to feel close, feel loved
To you a pocket book filler (and drainer)
Each use, a prayer for my son
I smooth it on, to feel close, smell love
Others may call it wasteful
Every use a prayer to my son and his wife
