Have you ever had your heartstrings
tugged so hard
you lost your breath
and tears sprang to your eyes
Isn't it grand
Tonight as I lay quietly
and tried to soothe two
children to sleep
The youngest being not quite 3
a darling girl of spunk and fire
her brother lying close beside
a whispered lilting lullaby
meant to sooth and quiet them
I love you Vivien Grace
I love you Brycen Cole
Stroke a forehead calm a hand
I love you Vivien Grace
I love you Brycen Cole
As they slowly quiet down
and sleep seems to be taking them
I hear the words
that stroked my heartstrings
wrapped up my heart and strummed
my soul
a spunky girl of almost three
whispers her own goodnight
To her brother of four
I love you too, Brycen Cole
