Love, Mommy
Cheeks glow red with the heat of dreams
You stretch and smile“Good morning, Sunshine” and “Cocka-doodle-doo”
A tight grip ‘round my head, you pull me close
“I love you,” is whispered from ear to ear.
Sweet boy – tell me a song
You are my lullaby Baby breath and heaven-bright eyes
I curl-up inside your tender grip.
Soft tickle-fingers knead a weary soul.
My heart, my boy, my wonder
You walked me from a shadowy ledgeWith tender notes plucked on withered strings –
I am lured to needs far greater than my own.
And now, dear one, we sit in lights down dim
Rock and hum the day gone byCocooned in angel-threads of soft moonlight
We count the stars and dream again.
So sweet!!!
