Unruly Thoughts at Play

I sing my thoughts a lullaby
And beg them to be still
Unruly children full of play
They go against my will

Another game of hide and seek
Each one appears by turn
Through hours of this endless night
Like candles, my thoughts burn

I sing my thoughts a lullaby
In hopes that they will sleep
Alas, when one is drifting off
The other makes a peep

I toss and turn the hours away
My thoughts all tumble too
I sing an endless lullaby
Each thought a dream of you

Now dawn has come and touched the sky
Pink hues replace the grey
My thoughts now sing a happy song
They know that they can stay

Each thought of you renewed in strength
Now dances through my day
At night another lullaby
While thoughts of you just play

Eve Roper Date: 5/2/2024 6:47:00 AM Lovely poem my friend. Another lullaby for unruly kids. reminds me of my boys as they grew up, but two of them were full of mischief like their dad.
