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
