Rocking with Sway

all around are sounds of life

caressing cheeks of a lonely wife

heartbroken sadness

on this dawn appears

she should of been dancing

after all of these years

the children laughing

puppy breath for play

instead the lonely wife

knits her time away

quietly thinking

rocking with sway

a comforting moment

with the right things to say

lonely wife ponders

as she rocks away

for she to knows

that she likes to play

rocking her hips

dawn rising lips

slowly she knits

with loving fingertips

thoughts are only hers

of them she will keep

lovingly smiling

while thinking so deep

rocking and swaying

she knits the day

but in her mind

she is rocking at play
