When Mom Sang to Me

When Mom sang to me as I was in my crib,
I didn't know the words she spoke,
But I looked forward to her lullabies
And could feel her love surround me.
I didn't know what songs she sang
But I could feel her arms around me.
Through the years as I grew up
And ran to her with hurts and fears,
That same love was there for me
And she rocked me in her arms
And dried my tears.
Hurts and illnesses came and went
As I continued to mature
No matter what trial came my way
Of that same love I could be sure.
When time came that she was ill
And soon to part from me,
I put my arms around her
Holding her so tenderly,
My spirit singing those sweet lullabies
That she sang so many times to me.

Oh, this is so beautiful. I love the lines:

When time came that she was ill
And soon to part from me,
I put my arms around her
Holding her so tenderly,
My spirit singing those sweet lullabies
That she sang so many times to me.
