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 Eileen Manasian

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. They loved to tease, and me, well a very dry sense of humor didn't know how to take it.

Reads so smoothly with great rhymes and cadence. At the end of the day when thoughts are troubling our hearts, musing on our loved ones can save the night

"I sing my thoughts a lullaby" Beautiful poetic lines dear friend Elleen. You appear to have lots of love for Music and may be you must be singing. Music and singing is the loftiest gift given by God to us and I also love music. With best wishes....Ravindra

Nocturnal unruly thoughts can deprive us of much needed sleep and peace of mind, Eileen! But, having said that, many a worthy poem has been born thanks to their presence! ~ An enjoyable poem, light and with a lovely smooth flow. ~ Hugs // paul

Dear Eileen, your poem beautifully captures the restless dance of thoughts and emotions. I loved the imagery of unruly children, and the struggle to find peace within oneself. Your ability to weave longing and peace into verses is enchanting. It's the power of love and its ability to calm even the most restless mind. - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you for your visit and the kind comments. I'm an overthinker. It's hard to still my mind, but I love poetry and when I have time, I focus on that. Blessings
