First Lulaby

Young Mary greets her baby and promises all things motherly

Hush, my little darling boy,

Sleep, my tiny one,

I’m here

 

To cuddle you and sing to you,

And keep you warm and safe,

I’m here

 

To teach you all about your world

And kiss your hurts away,

I’m here

 

To hold your hand then let it go,

And watch you make your way

I’m here

 

Sleep my tiny baby boy,

Peace, my little one,

I’m here

This poem made me smile, thinking about a mother greeting her baby for the first time. My favorite stanza was, To cuddle you and sing to you,

And keep you warm and safe,

I’m here
because its just so precious and sweet!

I love the sense of dedication in this poem as well as the Last Lullaby. The thought occured to me that a commingling of the two would complete the story with an insight into the resurrection added possibility.

all my "Mary" poems are being compiled for a future publication(probably self published). I think Mary was one of the most remarkable humans ever to walk this planet. In my collection, (in which i take great theological and biblical liberties), I am making the attempt to see her world through the eyes of a teen mother who grows and matures and seeks the will of God, no matter what.

Sounds inspired to me.

Well, I read "Last Lullaby" first, and I think the title fits beautifully. They form a set of songs, from sweetness to sorrow.

thank you. that's how I wrote them, as a pair.
