Soft Lullaby.


In the moments of doubt and uncertainty leapt off your tongue and spilled over into the thin air resulting in the warmest embraces and the wisest words exchanged allowing you to fall gently asleep in your darling fairy room lying your little head against the warmest pillow accompanied by  being tucked into bed by both mom and dad and you would never fall asleep without a kiss goodnight and saying your nightly rhyme as they faded slowly down the stairs but the comfort of their perfectly placed footsteps would lull you to sleep surrounded by seventy-something stuffed animals because they protected you and were your best friends who were there no matter what and you made sure to kiss each and every one of them goodnight because if you couldn't sleep without it, how could they?
