Tears Fell Down The Rocking Chair
Rocking with her newborn boy
Overwhelmed with so much joy
Stroking through his thick black hair
That night-
Tears fell down the rocking chair
Bouncing to quell his piercing cry
His fever climbing way too high
Drowning in her own despair
That night-
Tears fell down the rocking chair
Walking and talking –on the go
She asks for kisses, but he says no
Tired-eyed, he crawls up with his bear
That night-
Tears fell down the rocking chair
Too big to rock –a chair to put away
She rocked herself once more that day
Reminiscing -moments to share
That night-
Tears fell down the rocking chair
Out of storage –time to move on
A new journey for them to set upon
Trying to rock away, what she couldn't repair
That night-
Tears fell down the rocking chair
