Lullaby For A Friend

This be my song of comfort for your soul
That you should slumber peacefully in dream
May visions of a brighter day console
This be my song of comfort for your soul
I'll tend the fire and stoke the final coal
And bid you sleep till moon has lost its beam
This be my song of comfort for your soul
That you should slumber peacefully in dream

any friend of yours is one fortunate being...

*smile* Your friend is lucky.... I remember someone sang me to sleep once.... it's amazing what a lullaby sung by a friend can do.... *blink* I'm getting misty eyed. I swear, it's because the cat attacked my eye. Really! *smile* Once again, beautifully written, Vicky.

I'll never forget you.... I know that much, despite my foolishness.

I'm seeing this;
I can see you tending the fire...stealing a glance here or there to check on the friend you send to dreamland...staying awake 'til the moon sleeps, and the friend is rested...

very warm write vick..

Vicky, you are one of the sweetest people I know...so compassionate and caring for others. I think you would be a very good friend to have around.
Hugs

By the way, I love the triolet and am keeping it to study. Hope that's okay?

Your gentle caring soul is shining through, Dear Vicky.
