Angel wings flutter
in the midnight breeze
as the mother lays her head to rest
and wanders off to sleep.
Sparkling stars dance
in the dark night sky
as she kisses their heads.
and hums her lullaby.

as she sings to them softly
and tightens her hold.

as she tiptoes down the hallway
to escape her wrath.

in the bright yellow moon
as his laugh fills the air

Angel wings flutter
in the midnight breeze
as the mother lays her head to rest
and wanders off to sleep.
