Sick

Fever
Chills
Crackers
Ginger Ale
Whining like the child
I wish I could be
could crawl up
in my mommy's lap
could lay my head
on her shoulder
wrap my arms
around her neck
whimper how sick
how sad I feel

Feel her stroke
the fever away
kiss the chills
goodbye
tell me it's all going
to be okay
make me believe it
