Emily's Lullaby

For Emily Marie Roman.. a beautiful little girl who deserves the world.

Sleep tonight, my darling child,
tomorrow brings a new day to explore.
In your dreams I pray you find,
all your wishes come true and more.
The moon shines upon you,
and watches you as you sleep,
its glow will warm you,
your hopes it will keep.
The stars are yours
to shoot as you will,
provide to us mortals,
one more little thrill.

Sleep, little one,
lay your head down to rest.
Take your place amongst angels,
of which you are the best.
When you wake, I'll be here,
as you start a new day,
so don't worry my love,
I will help guide your way.
And tonight once more,
you'll soar through the sky,
I'll be here waiting,
and together, we'll fly.

Sweet poem. Takes me back to childhood.

This is BEAUTIFUL. :) I adore sweet poems to children, they have such a gorgeous innocence that is sometimes lost in poetry nowadays. I really loved the lines "The stars are yours / to shoot as you will," lovely imagery throughout the piece, great job!!! :)

"I'll be here waiting and together we'll fly." I love the simplicity in which you wrote this.. straight to the point, and i could imagine you reading this to your child before she sleeps... and she'll will have the world, because you tell her so in your poetry.. good job.

Beautiful poem. It's sweet and soothing.

This is beautiful not just because its about your baby. But because its written with emotion. I can feel the love in ya words. Great piece.

Awwwww....You know I have yet to finish a poem for my daughter. I started many and have never finished one. I'm so ashamed of myself. Anyway, this is sweet...That lucky little girl has got a beautiful, loving mama and that's what's up!

I adore this piece. Makes me emotional - especially thinking about the upcoming birth of my own child.
Nicely written...flows well and can work in more than one genre ie. lullaby and poem.
