Sing To Me
20 December, 2006
Author: Capricorn
Sing to me
Cradle me Mammy --
in your warm arms I’ll inhale
the fragrance of your skin;
playing ‘butterflies’,
fluttering eyelashes
against each other’s cheeks.
Sing to me Mammy,
lift me with your spirit
in rousing hymns;
soothe me with lullabies,
swaying ‘til I rest.
I’m growing old Mammy,
yet that little girl lingers --
longing for the solace
of your embrace.
When sleeplessly tired
I ache for the lilting
timbre of your voice,
to wrap me in peace.
