Sweet Baby Starr

Look at you sitting there With your chubby hand Holding my heart with your laugh Knowing where I stand.... Sweet Baby Starr I know where you are Starring at you sleeping Listening to your baby breath Waiting for your laugh Hearing the morning sounds Under the white mounds Praying a mother’s prayer While stroking your golden hair.... You are the reason I could fly My baby Star You are the reason I feel so alive My Baby thats what you are... Look at you growing up Asleep upon your bed Holding your teddy bear Felling such love and care... With your little arms around my neck Oh Lord, forgive me I yelled For some little mistake That she made My little Starr.... Kissing my little ones tear stained face Promising to be better With each daily light Holding each other tight.... Chasing the fireflies In the hot humid night So tiny she was But oh so bright.... She sat on the table Swinging her little legs Her body as at ease as it could be Her thought at that time Was telling the jokes to me.... The little girl sat by her mom’s side “Mom, when will I grow up?” Patience dear, it will be soon enough Star said to me... Sweet sixteen her first schools dance Oh where did the years go by? “Will anyone dance with me?” She asks me why “Patience, my dear soon enough!” They said you were wild I said you were free They said you wouldn’t listen I said you would to me..... Young girl grew into womanhood And marriage she did go Love came and love went Finally one true love endured.... The beautiful bride looked Towards her mother “Can I make a marriage work?” “Patience, my dear, patience, soon enough” Mom it’s Valentine’s Day I want you here with me I feel like a litle girl That I want to be Will I ever be able to see you again? In the heavenly skies.... A cold autumn day, the last leaves Falling from the trees Tears falling like rain It was to be... “Mom when will I ever see you again? This is Baby Starr, looking for you” Soft upon the wind came the reply “Patience, my Starr, soon enough, soon enough!".... BROOKE DYLAN 2014
