Product Description

When an acquaintance of mine, Gay Tregaskis, sent me a poem shed written and told me the story behind it, I was honored to be able to put her beautiful and touching words to music. The story is best told in her own words: "When I was expecting my first baby, I wanted an antique rocking chair. I found one listed in the newspaper that said, old, but loved. I remember going to look at it with my husband in November. It was old and worn the seat springs were broken, the fabric was faded and torn. I loved it! We bought it for a forgotten amount and my sweet mother-in-law had it repaired and re-upholstered for my Christmas gift. Our little son was born on January 31st. I spent hours and hours just rocking Gods little miracle. On Mothers Day that year, I woke up and just began writing. There were only one or two lines I shifted. It felt like all the babes and parents who ever sat in the old chair wanted me and mommies-to-be to understand the precious moments spent rocking and bonding. It still brings tears to my eyes. These words are a gift given to me for my children and all who they touch. Our moments to share pass on fleet feet especially with our children. Please if any of my poems can be given forward in song, this is the one I want parents to share and to be impressed to never forget how quickly time passes to cherish the now. If singing our song will give pause for parents to bond, then those souls passed on who visited and inspired this verse will have peace." 6 pages.
