Sweet Little Lullabies By Meyi a h

Sweet little lullabies, Playing as I rock my baby to bed. Quietly laying as thoughts race through my head. Mommys can never give up. Big smile on my face as we play all day, sometimes just wishing I did wait, but mommy’s

can never give up. though I am young and times may get tough this mommy can never get enough. The best of me I see in you And you brought out the best in me, God knew how much I needed you.

ANOTHER VOICE THROUGH POETRY

Dreams are the great awakening potentials and visions Shine in the future

And nightmares Even vivid ones
