In Your Loving Lap

Momma, I love to lie on your sweet lap, Listening rapt to the stories you tell, Sometimes, your words lull me to take a nap, And I sleep deep, all my fears you dispel. Your lap is the most comfortable place, I can lie here forever, peace waves wash As you stroke my head and caress my face, I feel relaxed - your kind touch, evils squash. Will you let me lie here when I grow up? Spin me stories of fairies and magic? In your loving lap, I feel cocooned, yup! All's right with the world and nothing's tragic! Large as your heart is, your lap's e’en larger, You welcome me to rest my weary head, A little lap love's my power charger, I love you, momma, and your soft lap bed.

Joanna, your words bring comfort and support, unconditional love. This line touched my heart so deeply: "Will you let me lie here when I grow up?" It doesn't matter how old we are, a mother's love is always needed. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
