Ethan’s Song

I'll rock you in my arms, my son
Never to be removed from my love
I'll stroke your soft baby skin
and hold you close to me
I'll rock you in my arms, my son.

I'll sing you a sweet lullaby, my son
With a voice clear and pure
I'll whisper in your ear
and soothe you with my voice
I'll sing you a sweet lullaby, my son.

I'll rain kisses on your face, my son
Soft lips caress your velvet cheek
My breath will keep you warm
and you will feel me always close
I'll rain kisses on your face, my son.

I'll always speak of your name, my son
You have been shared with so many
They carry you always in their hearts
and you are forever here with me
I'll always speak of your name, my son

I have so much love for you, my son
In my heart you will always be
In my mind I see you always
forever we are entwined
I have so much love for you, my son

PS - this song was written for a friend a couple of years ago; it is not about a child of mine

I am alerted to a sadness in this poem, Alison. Please tell me I am wrong.

Thank you friends, RDB, OW and my friend GS too -

I'll be back to comment later and thank you more properly.

Right now, I am here to assure Owl that the poem is not about my son.

Thank you three - each of you is so beautiful to me.

You 'sand' Ethan's song so softly ~ so sweetly.

Your friend must have been deeply touched by such a loving, poetic offering.

Alison, is it truly a song? ~ If not, it truly would make for a lovely lullaby.

So good to read you, again! You know you're one of my favs!

Love you!

Dear Alison,

This is well put together. Everyone should feel that way about all their children.

Love Bobby

Thank you, Alison. Sometimes I don't like being wrong. Other times I don't mind. This time I am very pleased to have been wrong. Thank you for reassuring me. I came in here with trepidation.

Oh, dear Alison, this is so extremely touching and I can just hear the song, the melody comes naturally along, with the suggestions of the heart.

So so beautiful!!

Love and hugs.
