Poem For A Child

A video version of this poem is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G3GnNhuIsI

Now all your toys are put away

Safely for another day

They’ll wait for you, they’re loyal friends

Tomorrow you can play with them.

 

So close your pretty eyes, my son

Night is coming, day is done

Soon the stars will shine their light

I’ll keep you safe with me tonight.

 

The moon will rise so full and clean

That you may have a happy dream

Of games and fun and lovely toys

Made specially for the best of boys.

 

And morning will be coming soon

Then the sun will light your room

And we’ll begin another day

Together, and we’ll laugh and play.

 

But when you leave you must not fear

You’re never far away, my dear

I keep you close within my heart

So while you’re gone we’re not apart.

 

And though you’re gone a little while

You’ll think of me, and you will smile

So never cry, soon you will see

My love will bring you back to me.

That is a really nice poem for a son to have ui think could see it on a bed room wall of a small child's would be a mood settling poem to have in there i think. The rhythm of the lines seemed to jar me a tad in a few places particularly with the "Together, and we'll laugh and play" could have together on its own line and would give it a little more room and as the poem is about being together having that one word by itself could potentially bring the piece closer to that sentiment, great poem though anyway really enjoyed reading it :)

Thanks for your review. I know it's a little clunky in places, that's why I'm not a great poet lol. I also have it as a video on my Youtube channel. Same clunky places, but with nice music to smooth it over a little. :)
