Ma'am


"yes, ma'am" 

he said,

"thank you, ma'am"

I love "ma'am" 

I'm in the presence 

of a gentleman. 

 

to me, a boy 

becomes a man 

when he refers to a lady 

as "ma'am".

voiceless except in pieces

When I think, I only get little pieces and I think of those pieces as puzzle pieces. There's no full picture or solution until all the pieces fit together.
