Mother and Daughter

Nights when  silence is broken by your loud cries,

Your mother's holds and cradles you,

Rocking you, through and fro, gently,

 Singing a soothing lullaby,

 You stare at her and drift off  to sleep.

 

 The nursing days, sleepless  nights,

  Mother's worried frown,

  Creased eye brows,

 All the while growth of silent

 bond of intimacy,

 Between you and your child

that lasts a life time.

 

 Role reversal, your mother  now cries in pain, 

 You keep her head on your  

  lap,

 Stroking gently, singing a  lullaby,

 Staring at her daughter, She   drifts of to sleep.

 she gently removes her  mother's head,

 Walks towards her  crying   daughter's crib;

 Lifts her gently rocks her in to  sleep,

 As has been taught by her  mother 

 

 This cycle of life goes on,

 Mother to daughter,

 The beginning of childhood,

  

 The miracle of motherhood.
