Sleep

Rest my child,
May your dreams be forever sweet,
Like your gentle heart,
A peaceful sleep.
Drift into the silence,
To a peace I'll never know,
For until the world spins in reverse,
I cannot reach where you go.
Slumber away from the evils of this world,
Knowing love will always be by your side,
Rest in heavenly silence,
Pay no heed to the tears that fall at night.
Our prayers are with you,
Every second of everyday,
So sleep my child,
Until you wake up in our arms again someday...
Until you wake up in our arms again someday.
