Freckle Bearer
I am a freckle bearer
My very semblance manifests memories for those
With loved ones who share my relationship with the sun
My skin a door they must comment on before
Moving past to enter other rooms of thought
An elderly man, the love of his life, and the 40 years they celebrated.
The young father, and the daughter he recalls in me.
Spots of love, not a blemish
