Lullaby

Let the swirling clouds

In a violet haze

Blow sleep your way

To end the day

And may all your dreams be sweet

Like lollipops

Innocent and pure

Just like snow drops

In the early spring

 

And remember that I'll be here in the morning

And that I'm here, my angel even in the dark

Because there's lightness amongst the stars

To protect you

To keep you

From harm

 

So let your worries fade

As you rest your gentle head

Against the pillow

And may your troubles melt off

Into the night

Giving way to peace

And all things right

As you drift away

 

And remember that I'll be here in the morning

And that I'm here, my angel even in the dark

Because there's lightness amongst the stars

To protect

To keep you

From harm

 

So close your pretty eyes

And grab your blanket to

And remember that

I will always love you

So goodnight my dear

I'll see you in the morning

May a restful sleep be near

Sleep tight my darling

It is very appropriately named and lovely. The only thing I question is "As you rest your gentle head, amongst the pillow" wouldn't 'against' be more appropriate? Regardless, this piece is very well-penned and would make an excellent nighttime song. Thank you.

A gentle and loving poem which is made all the more appealing by the appropriate structure you have given it. It reads well and leaves a content feeling.

In a violet haze'

Maybe your personal difficulties have given you the strength to write good poetry.
This is a fine poem, simple, honest and well written, not stuffed up with metaphors but full of truth and tenderness.Good work.
