Trip Prep Day 2 - the mother of the trip

I am the mother of the trip!
I am the supplier of treats,
of activities upon activities
I am the ears of excitement
and chatter
I am the divider of warring bodies,
the squasher of squabbles
I am the dabber of tears,
hugger of heads
I am the warder of hunger,
the bearer of smiles
and words that lift,
that sooth,
that promise
it will be okay
'yes,
we are
nearly
there.
now
try
to
sleep'
