A Lullaby for Broken Hearts


Stop crying, little baby For all will be fine soon Here to sing to you are all The stars and the bright moon If your cries continue, sweet, All of us will be sad But I won't say "Do not weep" Because not all tears are bad Here we are in a dark cage Fearing for what will come But if I know us, there's a Way and it will be done Your sister with a mighty heart Will hold us close and safe And if evil, bad things come near She will fight them away Your brother here with his clear voice Will sing you into sleep And even after your dreams come Will keep you company Your friend right here to give us hope Even in hopelessness And here to make us laugh with joy Even when we just mope We'll make this prison our place We'll make these bars our gold A joy unlike any other Unlike stories of old Our love and hope will sustain us Peace will flow though our mind If we still have one another And very soon we'll find That this is all just a nightmare That this shadow has gone And in the arms of our family Love which of we were fond We'll find in the a great joy The will to smile again But still remember the lesson All can be done with hope All can be done with love Heart Courage and Hope

I'm just a tomboyish girl taking on the world one day at a time. I believe in making life count, doing your best, being yourself, and inspiring others.
