Macabre Lullaby

Hush, please hush!
Darling don't cry.
Let me hold you,
sing a lullaby.

Clutch you close,
hide you from Death.
Protect your life
with my every breath.

Whisper truths
for you to know.
My life's been hard
but your's won't be so.

Our best plans
are not perfect.
So stay still Love
and be my secret.

Life will not
educate you.
Its irony
won't deceive you too.

Up. Up. Up.
A bird so high.
Gaze at the clouds
where the angels lie.

Mommy's there,
her halo bright,
her wings dusted
with meteorite.

Now She's stopped
afore pearled doors,
and beckons you
onto Heaven's shores.

Soon's the time
for you to fly
and touch the Sun
as you're passing by.

I've been blessed,
Darling infant,
to feel your heart,
see your Soul's ascent.

Hush, please hush!
I start to cry
and hold you close
as I watch you die.
