Close your eyes, sweet child
Dream child
Rest now. You deserve
Peace.

Don't cry, sweet child
Dream child
I will cry for you.
We all will.

Lay down, sweet child
Dream child
Sleep comes quickly
You're almost there.

Good night, sweet child
Dream child
I leave your earthly bedside
-but I will see you again


The author's comments:
The inspiration for this poem came from the sudden death of one of my close friends, and while at the funeral I wondered what his mother must be thinking, so this is sort of like a mother's goodbye to her child
