Short Story: Mother And Daughter

Short Story: Mother And Daughter

This piece has not been edited by the ShortbreadStories team.

Looking over the sleeping figure of my baby in silence

Tears flowing, with my thoughts upon the horizon

Clock ticking in the silence of the dark night

Calmly and peacefully dreaming of clouds of white

With my silent wish - tiny stars in heaven above

I pray to guide and protect this one I love.

Look over her, guide her, protect her and keep her safe

The world is not perfect and violence makes it unsafe

With my limited time with her I hope I can teach

All the importance of love, the soul and God I preach

The amazing gift and contributions she'll offer the world

Will be worth rainbow pots filled with honey and gold.

Lying down beside her as I drift off to sleep

Tight in each other’s arms so free.

The longing of wanting time to stand still

To play forever in this special garden of our will.
