A Toddler In My Arms
When I sang your favorite song,
Your faint smile said, “I want to go home now”
I told you it won't be long,
Then I sang again to assure you somehow.
Dimness in you eyes.the harried doctor
Trying to cast away his doubt.
Unreal, hazy, a dreamlike stupor,
To find myself I had to shout
When I sang your favorite song
You slept, I knew you were home now
I hugged you tight, and for so long
I kept humming, kissed you on the brow.
