Damien's Lullabye

Hush little baby, it’s all right, Go on and get some sleep tonight. I will be here when you rise. Go on and rest your weary eyes. Hush little baby, don’t make a sound, Remember me when I’m not around. I am watching you where you lie. Quiet little baby, please don’t cry. Hush little baby, don’t make a move, Your body is mine to sooth. Take a breath, release it slow. I will be with you wherever you go. Hush little baby, hold on tight, I'll love you with all my might. I promise you that I will wait. Arms wide open at Heavens gate.

Damiens this is so sweet,soft and beautiful as a lullaby should be.I myself found it soothing because of its' gentleness and rhythm.I find little children can be so uplifting.And as you would agree nothing compares to cradling a baby in your arms.I like the way you have said that in your own poetic way in your last two lines.A very enjoyable piece.Nice to see it made the home page so that it gets a better chance of being read.It deserves it.Congratulations.Love June(Sylvia)
