Lullaby Poem by Dolan Doran

“Hush little baby don’t say a word”…
The words running through my mind
“mama’s gonna buy you a mocking bird”…
Feelings rushing through me
“and if that mocking bird don’t sing”
Missing…everything.
“mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring”…
Insecurity taking first place
“and if that diamond ring don’t shine”…
Loneliness coming in second
“mama’s gonna make everything just fine”…
Wishing I could hear her voice
“but if I just can’t make things work”…
Wishing that fairy tales came true
“ mama’s gonna take away all the hurt”…
Feelings unspoken for years
“and if that hurt just won’t go away”…
Rushing to my eyes…refusing go be held back
“mama’s gonna sing for a sunny day”
Tears rolling…chest crushing
“but if that sun just don’t wanna shine”…
No way to make them stop
“mama’s gonna sing another lullaby.”
