Lullaby for a polar bear
(with permission)
The snow is warm,
My precious child;
The winter storm
Is always mild;
While you are sleeping by my side,
The world keeps promises,
The world is mine.
You close your eyes,
You've drunk your fill;
With quivering sighs,
Your lids fall still;
Your world is waiting by your side
To keep its promises;
Your world fills mine.
So, softly sleep
Till dreams awake,
And hearts shall keep
The vows we take;
The world will send another day
To keep its promises
(To keep our promises)
To keep our faith.
And when you grow up, we can go and kill some baby seals. Nom nom nom.
——————————
Softness holds me;
Peace enfolds me;
Tender eyes now
Fill this strange new world.
Soft breath thrills me;
Warm milk fills me;
Silent thoughts now
Lulling me to sleep.
Dreams are calling; eyes now closing;
Sleep is falling; warmth enclosing.
I know true love
Is waiting by my side
And love shall bide.
And when I'm a bit older we should go and check out those cuddly things with short legs flopping about over there.
