The lullaby that she sang
would help her
sleep
and for a mother
and a daughter
such a bond was deep.
Their love of music
was a blend
of soulful harmony
and the twinkle
in their eyes
was easy to see.
She remembered
as a child
looking up at her
and then falling
deeply
into a dreamlike blur.
To shut the world out
and yet
be safe like this
is a gift many children
too often
miss.
As she tucked
her dear mother
into bed
this loving thought
went through
her head.
Life had come full circle
and now
here was the time
when the reflection
of memories
could be so sublime.
The lullaby that never ends
has been passed on
you know
and a granddaughter
sings to her son
with the same happy glow.
