Lullaby

Okay, so this started out as a song, a lullaby per the title, but since I can't write music it is currently just considered poetry. One of these days, however, I will find someone to write music for this.

Please note that blogger refuses to let me keep the spaces between verses. The asterisks are my attempt to keep my spacing.

Lullaby

By: S.J.S. Manacapilli

Be still
Take my hand and hold it tight
Don't fear
I'll be with you through the night
No matter how far you've fallen
Or how loud the thunder roars
I'm here
I'm still here

*

Don't cry
The sun will always rise
Don't fret
I'm still here when you close your eyes
No matter how dark the night gets
Or how loud the monsters roar
I'm here
I'm still here
*

It's never going to last forever

And soon the sun will rise
But I'm here
I'm always here

*

You're not the only who fears
And cries through the night
The monsters only lie to you
I'm here holding you tight
I'm here
I'm still here
I'm always here
I am here.
