Lullaby

You were taken from my rib-cage. -

From my rib!

Now my heart beats with new passion

In a crib.

I observe it sleeping soundly

From above.

Wrapped in soft and fluffy blankets

Of my love.

When the evening sky descends,

Stars will shine

To ensure that all your dreams

Stay divine.

I remember when I first fell

For those eyes,

When your mother held me with them

Mesmerized.

Now the same two precious fires

Light my day,

When they wake up with the sun,

And look my way.
