Lullabies For My Children

I dedicate this to my unborn children.

 

I long of your entrance into

 

this harsh, incredible world

 

to see your bright eyes

 

hear your iridescent ideas

 

giggles, mash potatoes,

 

jelly globs waltzing the kitchen

 

healing ear infections and lullabies

 

 

 

Lullabies for my children

 

life on Hushabye Mountain

 

laying in cradle on a tree

 

all night angels watching

 

       over   thee

 

 

 

You shall have no closets

 

no under the beds for

 

googy-eyed creatures

 

to come out at night

 

kissed bo-bos if you fall

 

smiley band aids, cherry

 

flavoraid with heart-shaped

 

pancakes and... lullabies

 

 

 

Lullabies for my children

 

life on Hushabye Mountain

 

laying in cradle on a tree

 

all night angels watching

 

       over   thee

 

 

 

I will love away your fears

 

wipe away your tears

 

 hug until you smile

 

tickles, icky popsicles

 

I've sat on at least one

 

read you bedtime stories

 

listen to you read yours

 

singing with me lullabies

 

 

 

Lullabies for my children

 

life on Hushabye Mountain

 

laying in cradle on a tree

 

all night angels watching

 

       over   thee

This is a wonderful piece, I can imagine everything you're saying. I thought it was very very beautiful.

A very nice piece, very emotional of the ever loving mother.

I really love this poem mary, you really expressed just how much you love your children, and how strong the bond is between mother and child! beautiful!

This was very endearing; nice images-very real and honest, but it still had a certain innocense to it; it was hard to put my finger on it. I realy enjoyed the refrain and "iridescent ideas."
