Cradle

[The second]

CRADLE

The babe the boat and life
Some things we will remember
Others we will pretend to forget
Cruel words and actions of embarrassment
Forgive me as I learn to walk
Crawling from the frame
We believe we possess the future
Only in our minds
Strength of the heart can be snuffed in a second
Passion or lack all are revisited
Fading visions of the frame
Reaching away from a shore
Away from a sturdy and steady rock
Into an ocean or sea of uncertainty
Let my hand be known
May it be said I was a good man
A strong man
A loving man
And the memory of me for my children
For their children
All the good mothers and fathers before me
As of for now this earth is all I know
The saying goes
Cradle to the grave
But I say cradle to the cradle
With the strength of righteousness
Slay all the evil that evil does crave
Live by grace
Only grace can save

This has a sweeping, epic feel to it - another beautiful piece, TS.
