Thoughts slip through time
drifting on currents of
yesterdays emotions
forsaken by the fragile heart
that once held precious moments
close

while struggling to maintain
a smile so glad
throughout pain and tears

too often sad;

the memories float by on breeze
a wish made for just
one touch of a peace
known so long ago

now hidden among
distant shadows
of moon and stars

and unseen dreams.

Oh sweet tranquility
return to me,
break through the darkness
of silent skies

allow again, the light to shine
through emerald eyes

for just one treasured moment
               of simple grace
here within this peaceful place
'neath the silver of harvest moon
I ask of thee,

grant this spirit
serenity.

in seven years
I've seen you grow
a practiced voice
that truly knows
a treasured presence
this, you be
a treasured daughter
gentle spirit, thee...

This is going into my library! It's such a soothing lullaby.  

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
