I Saw a Young Mother
In a crowded park's gentle sway,
I saw a young mother with her day:
Sunlight danced through leaves above,
She tended to her child with love.
A picnic spread on a patchwork quilt,
Crumbs of laughter and joy they built.
A tiny hand with fingers curled,
Reaching out to touch the world.
She sang a tune without a name,
Each note a spark, a tender flame.
The little one, with eyes so wide,
Found the universe by her side.
Tired eyes, yet a smile so bright,
She taught flight before the night.
As shadows stretched and day grew dim,
Her spirit sung a lullaby hymn.
