The Hand That Rocks The Cradle - On Mother's Day

TO MY MOTHER

My little baby lies along my arm,

And, looking at her there, the glad tears press,

And, like a tidalwave of tenderness,

The years of love since I lay cradled so —

Unfathomed love enfolding me from harm —

Return and flood my life. For now I know.

Note: This was a group of photographs I framed for my oldest daughter as a Christmas present - to show her place in history. Oh yes, and to remind her she's the end of the line, hence endNote.
