rocking chair promises
just close your eyes,
just rest your head,
just calm your cries,
and go to bed.

you are safe, you are dry,
you are fed and you are warm,
all is well, you are mine,
I will keep you safe from harm

your sisters sleep
your brothers too,
your father snores—and
so can you.

just close your eyes,
just rest your head,
just calm your cries,
and go to bed.

in the morning when you rise,
the world will still be here,
you are loved, now close your eyes,
and know your mama's here.
