SING ME LULLABIES
10th January 2009
So you turn your head, lie on your side and sigh,
I see in you the half light, the half night,
The downy fluff of your blond locks, a halo of hair,
You unaware of your charms, your disarming smile,
Sigh once more and sleep on a while.
I watch you sleep,
Hoping to keep you always safe and well and warm.
In this current snowy storm,
I think back to a time my mother had watched as I lay and sighed
And hoped these things for me,
And sang to me her lullabies.
