I just really wanted to write a poem called Lullaby. I don’t know why. It’s strange, a lot of my recent poems have been sounding more like songs than plain ol verse. Hmm.... maybe I’ll put it to music. Give me your thoughts on the issue- review!

LULLABY

Close your eyes

The world is gone now

Rest your head

Forget all that is real

This is my lullaby for you

Such a beautiful child

You don’t need to stay here

Leave the real world behind

The life of dreams awaits you

I’ll sing you a lullaby

On soft white wings you’ll fly

Fly away on your dreams

After all, that’s where you belong

So close your eyes

My precious baby

Rest your head down

Close your eyes and rest

You don’t need this life anymore

Fly away to your dreams

Soar to where you want to be

I’ll sing you this lullaby

Close your eyes to the life you know

You don’t need to be here

Listen to my lullaby

And fly away to your dreams

Everything’s all right

Leave the real world behind

Fly away to your dreams

I’ll sing this lullaby

And take you there
