Sleep

Close your eyes my child

Yes, go to sleep

Give to your eyes,

The rest that they desire

Let dreams consume you

 

Rest your dreary head

I shall protect you

I will wrap my arms \'round your fragile body

The warmth of your small form heating me

 

I will love you

I will care

When you skin your knee,

I\'ll be there

 

When you need a shoulder to cry on

Mine will be waiting

When you need a hug

My arms will be spread out wide

 

So rest your tiny head

Close your beautiful eyes

When you wake up

I\'ll still be here.
