Cover art for Cherish lyrics by Madonna

This song is clearly about the love she still had for her first ex-husband Sean Penn. I always find it fascinating how people call her "cold & calculated" because of her great work ethic. but she poured her heart out in many her albums Like A Prayer being perhaps the most intimate, she talks about her Take On Religion (Like A Prayer) Women's Freedom (Express Yourself) Love Gone Sour (Til Death Do us Part, Love Song) her Mother's Death (Promise to Try), The Abandonment she felt by her Father and her own Self-Harming ways (Oh Father) The Hope and the Love that is still Alive even after break-ups (Cherish) Nostalgia about her own lost Childhood (mostly due to her mother's death) (Dear Jessie) her Love/Hate relationship with her Family (Keep It together) and losing People to Aids (Spanish Eyes) People who call Madonna "cold & calculated" just have NO clue.
