Mom cradled the moment as she cradled her child, at sixteen silent words .. spoken A lullaby through weeping red tears as she cradled her child, hope in his honey brown eyes fears Melting her soul with pleading eyes as she cradled her child, where hugs of love never to rise Echoes of lull empty heart tears brought forth as she cradled her child, eyes closed rocking back and forth at his birth Song sung blue one more time do flow as she cradled her child, birthday cake and wishes, lilies grow 7/2/2016 not for contest inspired by Julia Ward Cradling the Moment - Poetry Contest and her poem;Mamma http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/mamma_804806

A mothers love holds no bounds.....such a harrowing photo of mans inhumanity to man. You captured the words beautifully in your wonderful poem.
