Starts with a gentle cry
Slowly growing with distress
Mother knows the cry
Knows too well what it means
And she holds him close
Til he falls asleep

With the one you love
Beat's strong in your heart
Beauty radiates from your eyes
Love without words
And I hold you close
Til you fall asleep

Seems life is the same
In spite of age
A theme always runs through
From the moment
Out of the womb
Til we fade to dust

Time nearly through
Family around
Tears down the cheek
Remembering a life well spent
And you hold me close
Til I fall asleep

For the last time

Ah, I really like this. I almost wrote one very much like this starting with my redheaded temper tantrumed grandson who put laid his head on my shoulder and fell asleep after coming to me with a split lip....and it does one way or another, carry on throughout life....holding each other....

Enjoyed and welcome to passions....

Hugs, Pat
