Mother and Child

Mother and Child Nothing is more perfect than mother and child Baby clings on mom’s neck secure in the facts of life Mom snuggles there in gentle endless caresses What could be sweeter than the warm milk Poured out as nourishment and purity for baby To spice the day as they play The old house on the cliff keeps them happy Their days are filled with looking out at the great sea Watching the heavy waves lap on boulders just below them The sound, like a somber lullaby, moves them off to sleep To keep them grounded up above Sometimes in Spring they dance hand in hand along the cliff Being ever mindful not to slip Taking their love one step at a time in humble trust Mother and child are always sweet and kind
