"The wind blowing slowly whistling in the trees, like a whisper" I sing feeling relaxed for almost a minute. A silent step begins to creep up. I dare not speak another word. A silent cry, with distant unsynchronized sobs, a dragging sound on leafs and branches. A weary, sorrow filled hum, with lines of a song "hold me gently..." her voice cracks singing once more she says "my legs give out" a quiet but beautiful voice, one where no confidence can be found. The steps gradually getting louder but as soft as before, the humming getting sader with each note, the closer the steps got the more I realize what's a out to happen. Closing my eyes a tear rolls down, "my dearie?" the beautiful voice asks, "why must you shed a tear? has your heart been broken? have you gotten hurt?" she asks cupping my face in her soft hand, "why must you clench your fist this tight? why frown so deep?" she once again asks with her angelic voice, placing her other hand on mine. "You, have you forgotten?" I say, my voice trembling with each and every word, "have i forgotten something? help me remember won't you? " she asks with clear confusion in her voice. I sigh, "mother?" I say saddened by what's happened. I speak once more "let's get you back to bed, it seems that you no longer remember who I am " I say as I stand straight from leaning against a tree, slowly helping her back to our house. I don't want to do this anymore, I carefully thought as if someone could read my mind and punish me. I help her into her room and onto her bed. she begins to speak while looking me in the eyes "who may you be dearie?" her voice frightened and on guard. She's forgotten again I thought, "it's okay, I am a friend" I say trying to hold a gentle tone on my voice and trying to withhold the tears forming in my eyes. "could you perhaps sing me a song? my favorite?" she says with a bright smile forming on her lips. Every time you forget me and "meet" me again why must you always ask for this song?, I thought with tears filling my eyes. "yes, I can" I say clearly with sadness in my voice. I take a deep I inhale "birds singing sweetly, almost as sweet as your touch" I sing, taking a second so my voice doesn't crack "hold me gently, love me till I'm old and my legs give out" with a silent sob I hum matching the sounds of the song singing once again "brids flying high through the singing trees" another sob creeps out, as I close my eyes not bearing to be able to see her sweet, sweet smile, my voice cracks "The wind blowing slowly, whistling in the trees, like a whisper" this time as I'm singing, not for a second am I feeling relaxed.

-The end
