A smile.
A touch.
A shout. A cry.
A selfless act, repeated.
These are the gestures of the Keeper.
Courage, honesty, love,
not declared, but carried.
This is the fortitude of the Keeper.
Staggering.
Stumbling.
Pushing, pulling forward.
These are the strides of the Keeper.
Protecting.
Promising.
Sharing what can be spared.
Listening when it costs.
These are the actions of the Keeper.
Caregiver.
Lover.
Teacher.
Mother.
These are the names the Keeper answers to.
