She is a child of purest nature

A beauty, bestowed to the Earth

Among fragrant, multicolored flowers

Green grass, and butterflies adrift in the air

They dance for her, a ballet of splendor

Fluttering wings, their acknowledgement

They have captured and beguiled

Her applause, a request for an encore

And she smiles, with sheer delight

Out-dazzling the morning’s sun

A place to loll away the hours

Basking in the shade or sun

Under canopies of emerald green

Until the light of day is done

A sanctuary, a hidden treasure

One to keep you safe and warm

A place you can call your very own

Protection, from approaching storms

I marvel how you build your home

Each piece so carefully interwoven

And soon I grasp, just why it is

The reason this branch was chosen

A baby cries in the night
A hand gently touches her
A mother’s soothing voice
Comforting, wiping away the tears

A child cries in the night
A mother’s soothing voice
Quieting the nightmare
Comforting, chasing away the fears

A woman cries in the night
Her mother’s soothing voice
Calming and reassuring
Comforting, holding her near

A baby cries in the night
A mother’s soothing voice
A grandmother’s loving touch
As the cycle begins again
