Lullaby And Goodnight

Nostalgia tugging heartstrings

Sound that brings
Back memories
Sounds that make
One cry
 
…From an ol’ music box…

Sound that tears
Tears from one’s eyes
And wrenches forth
Deep sighs

…Nothing quite like an ol’ music box…

No, nothing says poignancy
More so…
than does the silken notes
That softly flow

…From a music box…

That plays ‘Lullaby
And Good Night’
And tinkles down
E’er so slow

Til wound again
…Up tight…

Very sweet. I love music boxes. They have a sound like no other, really... tinkling notes that you have made into a poem.

it is good night and good bye, but not forever....the notes will always play in the memory.
