10. (lullaby)

my dearest one,

i surround you

with my love.

for you’re the only one

i’ve ever thought of.

i’ve made many choices

good and bad

in my days.

but you’re the best one

i’ve ever made.

and i know today,

you may be weary.

but i promise

you are loved

so dearly.

remember these words

as you lay

your head.

close your eyes

and rest,

dream sweetly

in your bed.

even if

i’m not here,

i promise

i’m not far behind.

for even after

i’m gone,

you’ll still be

in my sight.

i’ll keep you warm

as you’re wrapped

in my arms.

with me,

you’ll be protected

and you’ll never

know harm.

a kiss on your head

as you drift off

to sleep.

i’m right here,

my darling,

there’s no need

to weep.

rain, snow or shine,

you can find me

in the sky.

i love you forever,

and i’m always

by your side.

good night, my love.
