Lullaby

All tucked up and snug in bed as Angels standing guard above your head. Mummy will kiss away your fears, she'll stroke your hair and dry your tears. She softly sings a lullaby about the stars up in the sky. Twinkle twinkle star so bright shining down on us tonight... Her breath is warm upon your face as you lie silent in her embrace. Your sleepy eyes transfix on mum as the moon comes up to replace the sun. She gently takes your hand in hers, your fingers wrap around her thumb. These are treasured moments as she waits for sleep to come. Mummy counts her blessings as she sings to her son knowing that he feels safe enveloped with in the arms of his mum. Her voice is but a whisper now as she hums the last line, these precious moments she will treasure throughout all time. She tells you that she loves you, her words are honest and true, for there is no where in the whole world she would rather be, than lying here with you.

Yes it does Daniel, the poem fits all parents. I was inspired to write this poem when I was listening to my daughter singing lullaby's to her 2 year old son, my grandson. It was so moving to watch.
