A Lullaby

My little cupcake,
I want you to know
That as time passes,
The winds will blow.

But I will be there
To cover you
With these arms of love -
Neath skies of blue.

My love, don't worry,
Smile like the sun -
As flowers in May
With loads of fun.

May you rest for now,
And please don't cry.
Tomorrow we'll dance -
Just you and I.

Know that I love you
So tenderly.
You're my sweet angel,
God's gift to me.
