My mother’s lap

I opened my eyes

Found myself

In my mother’s lap

I cried, I played,

Laughed and smiled

In my mother’s lap

I grew older

But it was still mine

When tired,to rest

I climbed in the lap

When shy,

I hid my face
When hungry

She fed me in her lap

When sleepy

I used it as a bed

Warm and secure

Full of love

It was the coziest place

I could have

I am an old man now

But never forget

The luxury

Of my mother’s lap

The most precious

Possession

I ever had

Tears flow from my eyes

Makes me nostalgic

Whenever I remember

My mother’s lap
