Mebae

You lie on smooth wooden shelf wide hollow cupboard
You feel smooth and strong
Metallic indigo with a tinge of saffron flowers
Hair as black as night
You’re a cylinder
A steady symmetrical sphere 10 cm long
You smell of roses blooming in the morning sun
Sighing with joy and happiness
As sweet as my mother
As generous as my friends
I received you from my friend
I have had you since I was born
Special to me because you gave me sweet dreams
Remind me of a Chinese princess
Frolicking in the fresh beautiful palace gardens
I look at you when I feel as if…
I’m the luckiest person in the world
If you were lost or broken I would be heartbroken
Knowing I wouldn’t have you by my side
As I get older I am going to pass you down for generations to come
So others will also have sweet dreams
