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
