My Lullaby

My Lullaby

My mother sings to me with the passion of an artist who strives for perfection

I breathe as softly as a butterfly

Waiting to hear the next lyric of her song

The song feels so humble so right

I don't want this beautiful pool of lyrics to end

The seconds tick by as fast as the speed of light

Not wanting this moment to end

I believe in her to hold me tight

In this blissful moment of a perfect night

The song sounds so loving so right

I apologize for not singing you to sleep in this nightly hour

Oh how your words hold so much power

Your words strengthen me like a cat who claws at a tree

I feel so free so right

As I fall asleep

I hear you say "I love you like no other"

What a beautiful thing to say as I close my eyes

And dream of you forever
