Far and Well

Close your eyes --
The dark outside can't hurt you,
And I will never desert your bedside;
So close them tight.
The stars are so glad that they've found you,
And on the blankets that surround you,
They shine their light.

Rest your head and I will be watching from the doorway
As you slip into a perfect, peaceful sleep,
And morning will come in all its simple glory
And you will find the light,
And I will be there
Standing in your shadow,
Knowing that you once were mine;
All mine.
