Midnight Words
Hush my child do not cry
The sun goes down, but the moon is high
The water calms and the frogs peep
It is now time to go to sleep
The owl wakes and starts to fly
A million stars light up the sky
I hold your head and stroke your hair
I wrap you up in a quilt with care
You close your eyes and begin to dream
I can hear the sound of a distant stream
The world is still, there's barely a sound
I thought I was lost, but now I'm found
This is my home and where I belong
The silent stream plays a perfect song
The leaves rustle as the wind blows through
I'm just glad, I'm here with you.
