As She Cradled Her Child

Mom cradled the moment
as she cradled her child, 
at sixteen silent words .. spoken

A lullaby through weeping red tears   
as she cradled her child, 
hope in his honey brown eyes fears

Melting her soul with pleading eyes
as she cradled her child, 
where hugs of love never to rise

Echoes of  lull empty heart tears brought forth
as she cradled her child, 
eyes closed rocking back and forth at his birth

Song sung blue one more time do flow
as she cradled her child, 
birthday cake and wishes, lilies grow
