Lullaby

The solemn tune of slumber,
lays heavily on the keys,
as life's adventures wander,
passed in a soundless breeze.

As the sleeper mumbles,
Laying there with ease, 
the mother watching humbles,
all daily angst appeased. 

The dreamers breath fumbles,
slowly drifting within,
a lilted sound crumbles,
the space a tempered din.

On a shift she stumbles,
staring wide, chagrined,
a sniff, a cry, she grumbles,
then produces an incredible grin.

Often when seeing your child happily asleep all of the problems of the day disappear. Nicely done my friend.
