Sweet Lullaby

Go to sleep

My little angel

A jewel you are

Skin like ivory

Illuminated by the moonlight

As it seeps in strands

Through the window

Along with the swishing sounds

Of the cool air

And the rustling of leaves

From that almond tree

Go to sleep

My little angel

And dream

Dream of a better world

One where there is no pain nor hurt

And everyone is happy

And free to be true

To themselves

Without being persecuted

Go to sleep

My little angel
