Here is a lullaby for young mothers
Hunchback from years of weight carried daily
Drop the weight of the world from your shoulders
Instead, migrate the world with a proud chest
Slouch and it becomes your identity
Here is a lullaby for young mothers
Live dreams before they are faded colors
Of what happily-ever-after looked like
Drop the weight of the world off your shoulders
Teach your daughters to meditate with a straight spine
Round backs signal lack of integrity
Here is a lullaby for young mothers
Telling adventurous stories, does wonders
Instead of baking with Sylvia Plath
Give long goodbye hugs with serenity
Drop the weight of the world off your shoulders
Walk to the edge to spread your feathers,
Soaring wings will become your legacy
Here is a lullaby for young mothers
Drop the weight of the world off your shoulders
