....A Babe's Cry

When a scream comes on your lips

And a cry soft responds in surprise

There eyes cry but tears are of joy

Even though small they reflect more

When anger comes and words are harsh

For what is known needs to be retold

When questions come and life is a flurry

As one needs to ask for this journey

Then the silence is all that can be heard

Even the doors have become silent

When a lifetime comes to fade away

A soft cry once more comes to live again
