sliced roast beef, mashed potatoes, and gravy

the beef is soft and juicy
the potatoes are soft but firm w/ no lumps
the gravy is smooth and not salty
all on top of a piece of bread

I burrow down into her - lost in my fantasy and the memory of all the times she comforted me in a giving and unselfish manner
I burrow down to escape and to find comfort at the same time.
She gives up of herself to allow me this comfort
But she does it for me because it was just one of the ways she shows her particular rare kind of love you don't see too much anymore
I'm one of the lucky ones to know this kind of selflessness.
