The Rocker



 She rests
         remembering
crying babies and 2 am feedings
       small children
           and old men

she cradled the sick
     comforted the mourning

gazed upon many sunrises
  felt the hot summer sun
the cool fall rain

she sighs
   now a little faded
         a little weathered
         a little worn
         a little weary

the breeze gently blows
                 and she rocks once again



blessings and thanks for visiting

That's how I feel about old rockers too. My mom's old rocker is especially dear to me.

What a great post! I love me a rocking chair and there is no better place to sit when you have a baby in your arms, talk about comfort, for the baby and the rocker!

Thanks for coming by and entering my giveaway. Have a wonderful day!
