Mother and Child

Wide chestnut eyes glimmer more than a moon beam A morning ray of sunshine in a delicate smile so deep A brisk wind blows around an oval face with esteem Delicate small hands under cheek while fast asleep. Tender innocence fills an empty heart Soul lifted by a gentle warmth of love Feeds life fully …
