Her Quiet Lullaby

I sat here,

Rocking back and forth on this rocking chair,

Listening to the silence of the wind.

The quiet lullaby as the trees danced back and forth.

I sat here with my eyes closed,

She was asleep in my arms,

The silence of her eyes let me know that she was safe,

Safe in this world,

Safe from all the bad,

Safe because of me.

Ever since her mother died,

Ever since my wife had died..

It's been different,

I had no one  to love,

No one to hold,

But my little girl.

It's been 6 months.

6 months since she's been gone.

I've had nothing,

And yet I'm still holding onto the only that really mattered to me now,

And that's having my little girl in my arms,

Breathing,

Safe..

Alive,

With me..
