SILENT LULLABY

Written for Jesse's Short & Sweet Contest - Round 3!

SILENT LULLABY

On angel wings of pure silver,
the song flew up toward Heaven;
a silent lullaby here on earth
to my baby who was only seven.

So brief her stay upon this land
and so quickly came the tears,
perhaps God knew I would mourn
the loss of seven happy years.

With courage and compassion
for other children such as she,
I reached out to other parents
with my support and sympathy.

Now in the quiet of the night
I can softly sing the lullaby;
the night winds take the music,
leaving me a silent time to cry.
