LullabyeA Poem by John B. BollingWhen the day is done When the morning comes When the moon falls onto itself Leaving no light in the sky When the time is right When the sky turns to night When the sun disappears from view Hiding the tears in your eyes You can look inside yourself Try and find your soul It might be buried inside of memories That you have forgotten or sold Or you can look into her eyes Find what is hidden inside It might be the thing that others won’t find Until the day they die Whatever your sleep shall bring Forget not a thing Even if nightmares surround you remember That tomorrow you will sing So keep her close to your heart Keep her nice and warm Like an angel she will rise from the ashes And keep you from falling apart Cherish the moments you have Whether happy or sad Tomorrow will go on without you With no regrets to be had Now the day is done No more errands to run Any hope of an eternal sunset Drifted off with the sun So go to sleep my darling Rest your weary eyes No time for second guessing Or some long goodbye Go to sleep my darling Rest your weary head Dream the sweetest of dreams I’ll keep my nightmares instead © 2008 John B.
