Mother’s Song

Mother wraps
her arms around
her child
singing softly
a lullaby
of love and laughter
and wishes to come
of the miracle she holds in her
gentle arms.
When the child
has grown
and gone
sometimes
at night
she’ll still hear
Mother’s Song.
And dare
to dream
the night away
in lullaby land
in Mother’s
sweet embrace.
