A lullaby....

Sleep my little one
sleep all night,
it was a long day
and tiring anyway.
I will tell you stories
of the land far away.
The wind is gentle
letting the flowers sway.
Learn to see the beauty
of life everyday.
Hold onto your dreams
so that they won’t flyaway.
When you lose hope
and all the colors turn gray,
don’t worry ‘cause
it is going be okay.
It wouldn't have
been a good day, yesterday,
but you still can
enjoy this day, today.
Tomorrow come what may,
you are never leaving
this battle midway.
And the sweet music
that you play,
well, what can I say.
I’ll think of a
big gift for your birthday.
Until then sleep my little one
sleep all night.
It was a long day
and your happiness is
for what I pray.
