A Lullaby. Poem by PAUL COLVIN

Your daddy’s gone now, far away
He’s up where gentle angels play,
He’s in Heaven so please don’t cry
And I’ll sing to you a lullaby.

He’ll always be here watching you
He’s by your side the whole night through
So rest your head and close your eyes
And I’ll sing to you a lullaby.

Each night before you go to sleep
Kneel down and pray for God to keep
So say that prayer to God on high
And I’ll sing to you a lullaby.

From softest slumber you awake
And from each sleep, a dream you take,
The last thought that was in your head
Is what you dream whilst in your bed.

If you close your eyes, you’ll drift away
And the sweetest dream will come your way,
Gentle thoughts will fill your mind
And leave behind all thoughts unkind.

“You’re my little angel” daddy said
As he fondly kissed me going to bed,
Don’t think of this as saying goodbye
And I’ll write for you a lullaby.


When you awake, don’t start to cry
Just know your dad’s with God on high,
Let all your sadness pass you by
And I’ll sing to you his lullaby.
