Poem

Lullaby:

She sang to me her lullaby

Softly sweetly gentle

She led me to another place

Where nothing was judgmental

She sang to me her lullaby

Swiftly but with passion

Her words were running off her lips

Her love not served in rations

She sang to me her lullaby

And tears ran down her face

For she knew that it would be a while

Until our next embrace

She sang to me her lullaby

Her words flew like a dove

She dragged them on because

She did not want to lose her love

She sang to me her lullaby

She reached the last short verse

She looked upon my face with care

And from her mouth these words immersed

I sing to you this lullaby

For you are precious now

And when you lay here in my arms

I stop and think of how

Of how my love will be forgotten

Soon when you are gone

But darling keep me in your heart

For I am often strong

I carry you upon my wings

I make sure you are safe

If danger tries to harm you

I welcome my embrace

So think of me today

Tomorrow do the same

And if you hear a voice

It is me calling your name

She sang to me that lullaby

She did not let me fall

I couldn't ask for more than that

She always hears my call
