Sleep Child Sleep
Sleep Child, Sleep,
For I wouldn’t know how to etch your eyes.
The wake I held for you not so long ago,
The bath I drew for you yesterday,
The music we unheard that last hour
And the dreams that we couldn’t dream today.
Sleep Child, Sleep,
For I wouldn’t know what to say,
If you asked me how the world looks without you,
I would keep chanting gray.
Sleep Child, Sleep,
For there is so much you shouldn’t see,
Like the stench that surrounds you,
Or the secrets that eat me away.
Sleep child, Sleep,
For I would never give you eyes,
Lest you catch a glimpse of me,
Or the death I couldn’t keep at bay!

Sounds like a lullaby which the mother is singing to herself, while the child sleep.
It could be one. Often lullaby’s are meant to put everybody in the vicinity to sleep 🙂
Ahan. Imagine singing lullaby in a board meeting ..LOL
haha! Most board meetings are a lullaby with their droning voices and incomprehensible statistics!
LOL 🙂 True that
It isn’t a secret that the child is dead and mother is the holy ghost
