Lay my head On your thigh Let me sleep In peace tonight Stroking my hair When the demons Come for me Cradling me To your chest As I suckle Your strength. Sing sweetly "Ave Maria" To drown out The pain When I'm forced To admit mortality On oak rocking chair Speak of futures That will never be As you lay me down gently Forever In the antique crib Of lost innocence. |

Such a beautiful mixture of sweetness and sadness. To your mother you will always be a child of innocence. Love, Margherita |

Wow!, Such a mixture of innocence, faith and hurt. Powerfully done. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
