A Lullaby for my little ones

Close your eyes
Don't let them open
'Til it's time to rise
Time to see the sunlight

Don't let the world
Trouble you none
Don't let it weigh
Heavy upon you
The evil today
Is enough for you now
And the good gifts of God
Cannot be traded

Drop your plans
Sink to the bottom
The wheel rolls unmanned
The sails rest while she's mooring

Wait for the wind
That speaks peace within
The spinnaker sags
Without her lover
The treasure you seek
Will find its own wings
And fields white as gold
Are yours in the morning

Close your eyes
Don't let them open
'Til it's time to rise
Time to see the sunlight

Don't let the world
Trouble you none
Don't let it weigh
Heavy upon you
The evil today
Is enough for you now
And the good gifts of God
Will greet you unfaded
