Come Home To Me

Originally written as a lullaby, but posted here as a poem.

Cross the river, child of mine 

Cross the valley, child of mine 

Cross the mountain, child of mine 

Come home to me, someday 

Come home to me, someday 

Cross the river, cross the valley, cross the mountain range 

Come home to me, my sweet child 

Come home to me, my lovely child  

Find the bridge of silver and steel 

Across the raging river 

Find the bridge of silver and steel 

And cross the raging river 

Cross the valley, child of mine 

Cross the mountain, child of mine 

Come home to me, someday 

Come home to me, someday 

Cross the river, cross the valley, cross the mountain range 

Come home to me, my sweet child 

Come home to me, my lovely child

Find the valley of green and spring 

Surrounded by rock and cliff 

Find the valley of green and spring 

And pass the rock and cliff  

Cross the valley, child of mine 

Cross the mountain, child of mine 

Come home to me, someday 

Come home to me, someday 

Cross the river, cross the valley, cross the mountain range 

Come home to me, my sweet child 

Come home to me, my lovely child

Find the mountain of brown and green 

Shooting into the sky 

Find the mountain of brown and green 

And climb past its height 

Cross the valley, child of mine 

Cross the mountain, child of mine 

Come home to me, someday 

Come home to me, someday 

Cross the river, cross the valley, cross the mountain range 

Come home to me, my sweet child 

Come home to me, my lovely child

Find the house in the meadow 

Come to me, my child 

Find the house in the meadow 

And you are home, my child

Cross the valley, child of mine 

Cross the mountain, child of mine 

Come home to me, someday 

Come home to me, someday 

Cross the river, cross the valley, cross the mountain range 

Come home to me, my sweet child 

Come home to me, my lovely child

You have a way with your words and weaving them into a beautiful picture.
