Sunlit

[SuddenlyScottish]

Sunlit

And in the rising sun
you’ll see my smile
telling you I am proud
of just your day to day accomplishments.
And in the singing ocean
you’ll hear my lullaby
softly rocking you to sleep
after ages of burdens.
And in the rainy days
you’ll feel my tears
as I cry over your pain
trying to wash it all away.
And in the silent night
you will sense my eyes
watching you through the night
protecting my little one.
And in the dawning
you will know my sense of peace
as nothing shall destroy
your most happiest day.
And in the beauty of twilight
you will believe I’m okay
as the stars light for you
and only you, my dear.
And in the final harbor
of your life filled breath
you shall see me waiting
and I shall smile again.
For you are my baby always.

I very much enjoyed your poem *S* I must say the line you added at the bottom, got to me and gave the poem even more depth.. knowing the loss of one parent already and the imminant loss of the other due to ilness.. this made me feel, as well as think.. thank you

this is a beautiful poem...i'm so sorry that you lost your mom...neither of my parents have passed on but my relationship with them is very stilted...i just talked to my mom for the first time in 2 years yesterday....again i'm sorry about your mom, and i'm sure she would say these things to you if she could!
