A child sleeps softly
Her dreams intact
Tragedy and fear
Just a whisper away.
But darkness embraces
This small little soul
It hides her, protects her
Keeps monsters away.
Too soon there is dawn
And the new light of day
The sleeping child wakes
To a world far away.
We owe this young one
A life of her own
Filled with the wonders
Not far away
We work and we pray
Please Lord make it so
A beautiful new world
Please show us the way
All young life deserves this…very nice, Pam.
