Sing Me A Lullaby Mama

A Quiet Poem for This Week. This Poem comes from my Poetry Collection exploring belonging, tenderness, and the fragile parts of us.

Sing me a lullaby Mama, like you used to

before the war broke. I remember them all,

even though you thought I never listened.

Now they echo in my head, and I wish you

could sing for me once again.

Though the world is dark and hope fades away,

your lullabies give me strength. They remind me

there was once a world at peace - a world where

I lay beneath the stars, listening to your voice,

safe and free.

Now bombs explode, shadows roam.

I cannot shut my eyes; I dare not sleep.

So, I listen in silence, to your lullabies in my mind –

not to drift away, but to calm my fear,

to dream of a day when peace returns

and you will sing to me again, Mama.
