Note: Inspired by my parents
Fall asleep little one,
I'll carry you to the moon,
I'll be here to care for you,
because parting comes so soon.
Lay your head down to sleep,
you are my little soldier,
you've tried so hard these past years,
and I don't doubt you're tired.
I pray that you will see the light,
Even my eyes are tired of the dark,
and never let the light fade,
that shines so brightly in your heart.
I love you, my little angel,
I'll be here to push you from the nest,
Even though I hate it,
I know it's for the best.
I'll be your guardian and tempest,
a storm of fury against those bullies,
you have nothing to fear,
I will be here for you, I tell you truly.
Fall asleep, my little one,
I want to see you smile again.
I'll see you in the morning,
Love, Mom and Dad.
