Baby's Breath

Rock in time

to a lullaby,

whisper soft and sweet.

Kiss his breath

so soft and fast

rub his tiny feet.

It's your time

to give alone,

in his world

of the unknown.

Promise the moon

and the stars above,

promise to give

all of your love.

Embrace your bodies

and souls for now,

this time will pass

so quickly somehow.

Share wth him

a promise to keep,

Lie him down

again to sleep
