This creaky old chair is were we sit,
each time you start to cry.
We rock and we sway
and I sing in a way
that makes the time go by.

This creaky old chair is were we sit,
when I simply want to hold you.
I whisper a song
and we rock along
For this is what we do.

This creaky old chair is were we sit
and I think of how you are growing.
I shed a small tear,
Out of a mother's fear,
At how quickly the time is going.

This creaky old chair is were you'll sit
and rock your little ones too.
You'll sing and you'll sway,
And rock in a way
Just like I did for you.

I enjoyed that poem! It is very good! Praying Camden feels better.

My mom had a creaky old rocking chair where she rocked us, too. It's so broken up now that it's not really functional anymore, but she still has it, and it's still as creaky as ever.
