PLAY SOME MORE by Joanne Boyle

"PLAY SOME MORE"
by Joanne Boyle

She pressed her ear against

the bedroom door.

She could hear chatting,

saying "play some more."

Her heart began to thump,

from deep in her chest,

as she pushed herself closer

to hear the rest.

She heard her boy laughing,

but was he asleep?

Her eyes then prickled

and she began to weep.

"Rock a bye baby" and

then laughter again

as she heard Charlie say,

"let's play with my train."

Her Mother had sung

that same lullaby

to Charlie, as a baby

when she heard him cry.

He would then look up

and give her a smile

before closing his eyes

but it had been a while.

His Grandma had passed,

four years before

but came back to play

with Charlie once more.
