Analysis of Uniformed.



I held my mothers hand
That mattered
I kissed my fathers cheek
That mattered
I walked my puppy with my hand
That mattered
My kitten kissed my cheek
That mattered
I held my siblings hand
That mattered
The war cracked my cheek
That mattered
I held a lost child's hand
That mattered
Leaves caressed our cheeks
That mattered
I held a pen in my hand
That mattered
