Lullaby Poem by Joyce Rugg

Hush now baby, don't you cry
Even one whine and you'll fry
In the fires of hell, a dark, scary place
But far better than the life you'll face

My child, beware the bite of the knife
Blades in your back will surely end your life
Thorns will litter your way
Evil follows you, demons you must slay

My life lived only to save you
An impossible task, something no one can do
As I lie in my grave, you're free of my stare,
But forever haunted, knowing you put me there
