Cradled Sweet ~*Marge Tindal*~ Cradled sweet, this lullabye caught within a mother's sigh Holding on to memories singing still the melodies Wrapped in comfort of a song rocking yet the whole day long Keeping still the nestled rest of infant held in tenderness When night affords a dream or two she counts the sheep of holding you Among the treasures of her soul held long after you have yet grown old Do you not hear within her hum the lullabye of mother, ever sung ? ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hi Marge... Lovely read, beautiful flow, and as smooth as a baby's bottom!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Mike~ Thank you for the read. Sunny1~ Thanks also to you. *This one tugged at at my heartstrings as I visited with some elderly ladies this morning at a local nursing home. They still sing the lullabies ... even though their 'babies' don't come to visit them. We had a 'Share-A-Pet-Hug' day and they held and rocked and sang to my Toy Pomeranian like she was their baby. That was joyful for them ... and for her. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Will you sing me to sleep tonight? This is so sweet. I wish I could remember those days of being sung to but I think they were spent on the range branding cattle. Their bellows were MY lullaby.    ...[This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 08-27-2000).] |

Sudhir~ Thank you, my friend ... for finding just the right words. Dani~ Hugs! This one was emotionally difficult to pen as I reflected on the tears of those who sing the lullabies of their hearts to those no longer caring to hear them. Thank you for finding it in the middle of your restless night. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
