Lu-lu-lullaby

There was a song, I recall like a drug. From my childhood, yet faintly lost at sea. It was a sweet song. A whistle? A sweet song indeed. It was a humming, and a hemming. And I sway to the long, for that old sweet song. The song that shut sweet child eyes. The song that could disguise bad times. The song filled with warmth, to soften my ice. The song that calmed pain, proving the existence of 'truly nice.' This song from way low, to the day I now know, is my..heart my..sky my lu-lu-lullaby

Notes

I always wanted my parents to sing me to sleep. Read me a book to sleep, but they didn't.

The only thing my mom read to get me to sleep was the bible. And we weren't even that religious.

Now I love lullabies so much! Vienna Tieng- Lullaby For A Stormy Night is my #1!
