Sleep well my friend

Sleep well my friend

A Poem by Emrick

The huge yellow disc has set, giving space for darkness to grow,
the stars and the moon are glittering, to release you of your woes,
Goodnight my friend,
Sleep well my friend.

Flowers have closed, and birds are trying to find there nests,
Its time to wash your feet,make your bed and rest,
Goodnight my friend,
Sleep well my friend.

you didn't make it today, don't lose hope there is tomorrow,
do not forget to pray, he is going to help you forget the sorrows,
Goodnight my friend,
Sleep well my friend.

This reads like a sweet lullaby. Something you might softly whisper or sing into a baby's ear as their eyelids get heavy and their weight fully drops in your arms. Beautiful.
