My Home-A Lullaby For My Heart

I heard the song “A lovers Lullaby” once A soulful yearning by Janis Ian And that’s what you are for me in my life A lullaby for my heart With you by my side my days are sweeter You lift my life’s burdens and pain And lay down with me without judgement A lullaby for my heart Our music is the harmony of two lives smitten Effervescent notes hugging hearts, singing Your arms about me, with you I am always home A lullaby I keep in my heart So stay with me while you can my love Sing to awake me as day begins Our own happy love song of blessings A lullaby I keep in my heart written 8-9-2019 My Home Poetry contest 2nd Place Sponsor: LuLoo
