A Sweet Lullabye

Which kids long to hear a sweet lullabye... when they are cuddled up in their beds, when the vagrant moon won't shine on them to make them sigh? Would you say they are those being loved by caring parents? Not at all...orphans with many needs do! They have dreamed of that mellow sound as long as they can remember, and 'though they were fearful infants, those memories were recalled vividly by their mind; and they are very sad and unforgettable, too... ask them about their disappointment, you'll surely witness their tears! Orphanages aren't great places for children to dwell in, and frustration and anger echo within those walls of silent pain, where the outside world cannot hear them and alleviate them... but curious faces peek through window screens and dream! Let's sing them a sweet lullabye, so that they can sleep under a vigilant moon and begin weaving their dream; let's give them a memorable night as the nightingales revere their smiles as they mimic that melody to make their young hearts rhapsodize! Let's sing them a sweet lullabye, not just for one night, but for many... and would they want to turn back time and be solicitous and solitary?
