MISTY Sea Day
I love the blue water,
as I am rocked to sleep.
The salt air fills my soul,
as I dream far away.
I am awakening,
to a misty sea day.

Her Cradle Rocked upon the Sea
Nobody wants to see me down like I wants to see me up.
—The Unsinkable Molly Brown (Debbie Reynolds as Molly)
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.
Icebergs, she dreamt; the meaning, key.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
The lullaby amidst debris.
The infant sleeps, as cries fall down.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.

Christmas Rocked When I Was Six
Hoping to See Santa covered in soot
eating his cookies, I dashed barefoot
to the living room and discovered—not
him, but he surely left me a lot:
Barbie doll, diary, candy, nuts, fruit,
books, jump rope, bracelet, and toy flute!

The Unique
A mother is unique
Only one in this life
Her love
Her presence
Her patience
Make you proud
And the eyes
That followed you
And the hands
That rocked the cradle
Will further tell you
The efforts and love
She put in you
From the very beginning
Is unique

I Rocked It
Birthday gifts for my love are a ring and a
Bouquet... each flower a perfect red rose
Halfway to her house, I smiled because it's
Friday! I'll bend on one knee and propose.
Knocked on her door and she was surprised,
Shocked to see me kneeling before her.
Locked in my arms, she said, "I love you."
Rocked it! "Yes," she

His Courage Rocked
Dedicated to my son, my heart, my Kyle
As infant, he was a smile and precious dimples
who had experienced no day or night simple.
He constantly battled while growing in the womb
in order to cease death's increasing threat of doom.
He battled inside the special care nursery
where I garnered my first Motherhood

Rocked Us Gently
Her long silken hair has thinned and turned to grey.
Brother, if we keep trying, I know we can find a way
to keep Mum safe at home, so she need never fear.
I don't want to send her away. I want her to stay near.
Sis, Mum can't even remember who her children are.
We can't take good care

Love Gently Rocked
We sit, relaxed, at closing of the day,
you turn, a record on to softly play,
then place, fresh logs making our fire enhance,
and gently bow asking me for this dance.
The song, we’ve loved since we were very young,
so often danced with, and so often sung.
You sing, so sweetly in my longing ear,
and with, strong arms drawing

Rocked Bees Around the Clock
Rocked Bees,
Rocked Bees,
Rocked around the clock,
The Queen to sleep,
Bees waked up,
Rocked all minds up-
To give the tiring work up,
Walked over the hive,Bees,
Making flowers a might,
For their freedom fight!

Internally, I'M Emotionally Rocked
As I await another hour
And the watching of the clock
I'm torn between two lovers
Internally, I'm emotionally rocked
I'm wearing different faces
Daily, for months I do
In fear of addressing my fears
I've too much too lose
Living in the lives of hearts
So different they are to me
One I have fallen out of
The others heart I see
My life now needs

The Caravan That Rocked
Now this is a little story of the caravan that rocked
Whether parked in roadside lay-bys, the locals were never shocked
They travelled from the Highlands and motored so far and wide
Exercising their freedom, oh my! that you couldn't hide
They lived just south of Ullapool, and further north than Perth
But no matter where they parked, they always

The Rocked Singer
still feels queasy about crowd temper
even as a jaded, seasoned pub singer,
sincerely booed or jokingly applauded,
either statement hurts, cruelly loaded;
feeling like a winner on a losing streak,
