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.
