Sing Me a Lullaby

Sing me a soft lullaby
to hush away my fears
Pull your arms around me
Wipe away my salty tears
Sing to me of muddy shoes
And someone asking for a dime
Tell me who rips your heart out
And handles it with care
Sing to me of angels and a whisper of a prayer
sing to me a lullaby
That ill sing my unborn child
Hold me tight and brush my hair
Away to see my smile
Sing me into slumber
Where happiness exists 
Sing me a soft lullaby
And ill finally get some rest

Your 'lullaby' is like pristine spirit Jay - perfect moments coming forth with the perfect relationship - I'll keep it close in my special collection - 'Youth built upon wisdom and clensed with sage...' - You mean alot to me - thank you for the gift at a time when I needed it - I feel so sorry for people who refuse to appreciate the power of poetry - J.A.B. %
