A Mother’s Kiss Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: Seraphic Host by Eric Berglund  Artist: Pease A Mother’s Kiss by Linda L. Dowd Lying there, so innocent, my baby sweetly sleeps. While beyond the open window, a swaying, willow weeps. A canopy of star shine, spans across her downy bed, While beams of pale moonlight, dance across her bonnie head. Brahm’s Lullaby is playing, as a ballerina spins on toe. And on a bentwood rocker, lies her kitten of calico. The baby scents of powders, and of soaps fill up the room. To me they are far sweeter, than the finest French perfume. I listen to her breathing, as I look upon in bliss. Then on her moonlit forehead, I place a mother’s kiss. Lying there, so innocent, my baby sweetly sleeps. While beyond the open window, a swaying, willow weeps. A canopy of star shine, spans across her downy bed, While beams of pale moonlight, dance across her bonnie head. |

quote: Linda Angelo, this is so sweet and so very timely for me, as last week my daughter has given us the gift of our second grandson Milo, whom I imagine just like this sleeping and loved and cared for by his mommy ... and by his granny too in a few days ... I enjoyed this deeply and I am smiling ... you ARE an Angel, who could have any doubts? Wonderful! Love and hugs, sweet Poetess. Margherita  |

MarchMadness ~ Thank you, Ida! I was just having a flash-back to when my daughters were babies. They shared the same room and I often had moments such as the one in this poem. I wanted to record this this one with my voice and music because I often sang them to sleep and I am making a CD for them of my songs and recited poems. Love to you! Linda |

Lindsay ~ Yes, a portrait that is picture perfect of both of my daughters when they were babies. Now they are young ladies ~ and they are even more beautiful on both the outside ~ and on the inside ~ where it really counts! Thank you for the sweet response, Aussie Man. ~ and once more I would like to thank you for the especially nice tribute poem that you wrote for me. It brings tears to my eyes. Giving you an extra warm, loving hug, Linda |

WOW. This poem put me right back in my daughters bedroom. I could almost smell the baby powder and feel how soft their forehead is when kissed. Thanks. Gumpy Heartbroken |

misce ~ You had me smiling all the while I was reading your reply! I hope that you slept the peaceful sleep of a baby! May all your dreams be that of an innocent babe! Well, perhaps your dreams themselves, need not all be innocent! lol Sweet dreams! Loving hug, Linda |

This is so lovely! *S* I spent part of the weekend going through old photographs... found ones of me and my mother as toddlers... erase the years and we could have been twins. *S* It's so easy to remember all that came later... your words leave me wondering if, once upon a time... it was like this for us. *S* |

Belle, I have a knowing, that that was so. Your mother must have loved you very much. After going through albums on the W/E, I believe that you were meant to open this post. Yes, you would have been given many a tender, loving "mother's kiss". Love to you, my friend! Linda  |
