Cradle Me

B.Mathislange 1956 (Essex)

August 23 
Rhymed
Cradle me Dear Goodness in your arms so strong
Till all my sins have past and I can do no wrong
Cradle me Dear Kindness in your arms so sweet
Till I speak only your words to everyone I meet
Cradle me, I ask, with blessings from above
So I may cradle someone and fill their heart with love

    Hi, B! Just wanted to share the note I took about you poem as I read through the August collection:

    “Absolutely beautiful! The sincerity of the short poem cannot be denied. I love it, and its message. Can you imagine if we all lived lives that reflected the desire of this poet’s work? It would literally change the world!”

    Excellent poem! I look forward, as always, to reading more of your work.

      My dear Vixility if kindness were only food you would have singled handedly ended world hunger 3 times fold. Y
