...to the mom who kept a cool head
as the soldiers marched around the city,
executing royal orders to murder baby boys
Life to a cute little kid,
With risks in what you did—
Life for a cuddly baby boy,
Giver of immense joy.
Life to him, risks to you:
If the soldiers had one clue—
They’d cut him up, and give you death.
What you did requires stealth.
In the waters of the Nile
A boy offers up his smile
A royal lady gives back your own
The seed of love is sown.
Immortal, yet unknown,
Raising your boy till he’d grown—
Immortal yet unknown,
The boy’s life is your own.
Immortal, yet unknown.
I salute you for this:
Saving your boy was all there is—
The boy’s life is your own.
