Lullaby

Softly sing to me 
Soothingly I'll leave 
I'll look at your reflection 
But quiet down 
I won't return 
So don't look

I'll leave you be 
I'll leave you soon 
But softly sing to me 
A quiet sweet lullaby 

Softly speak
Don't yell 
Quiet down
I'll whisper 

Soothingly I'll leave 
But promise I won't
Promises never 
Same as you...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
