Meh. It's a poem.
Tell me why you worry.
Tell me why you cry.
I take your hand and hold it,
Please, sleep well tonight.
You scare us with your words.
With you depressed attitude.
We worry because we love you,
As a lot of people do.
I'm often left to wonder,
Why you do so cry,
Why you think your so alone;
And why you wish to die.
You have so much to live for.
But through tear streamed eyes
You can not see,
All the joys there is to life;
And how your life could be.
Think of those with less than you
Though they still wish to live.
I pray, to what? I do not know
But never shall I impede.
For you to one day be joyfull
For your life to one day, mend.
Now sleep and let your dreams
Take you to a different land.
A land where the happiness you do not see
Shall soon come to be
I pray each night for you to find
Some small piece of mind
To cling to.
To help you live your life.
Tell me why you worry.
Tell me why you cry.
I take your hand and hold it,
Please, sleep well tonight.
