Lullaby

The time is ripe and the world is quite,
the thoughts do swipe and tangle and fight.
Your cheeks had tears and blushed in dimples,
quivered in fears and smiled in ripples.

It's time to pen all your joys,
and read your writ and again rejoice.
Learn to grow from all your pains,
like a plant from seed when it rains.

The moon and the stars, the breeze amidst the bars,
come to lull you tonight again, as you play the life's game.
It's a dark and cold night, and the world is tired and quiet,
sleep and close your drowsy lids, the days await like the hungry kids.

More and more, memories to make,
good ones to store and bad ones to bake,
more and more, life is to take,
in tears no more, and smiles no fake.
