Lullaby

Poetry

There’s a song in the trees,

As well as the wind,

And in our hearts,

As well as the mind.

Sometimes these songs aren't always heard,

Nor listened to,

Nor sung often enough if not at all.

There are songs in the clouds,

And in the skies,

As well as in your smile,

And in your eyes.

But sometimes we don’t know what to listen for,

Or how to sing them ourselves,

Which is why we must be taught.

That a lullaby is a song that we can all hear,

Even when we’re trying to look for it,

But keep an open mind,

And sing with your heart,

Because it’s there inside,

Sleeping and singing its lullaby,

And all we really need to do is listen for it.
