Lullaby

Sing us a lullaby -
For the days that passed
And the ones that have left us 
Who are asleep at last.

Sing us a lullaby -
For the tiresome helpers
Who despite the chaos
served as protectors.

Sing us a lullaby -
For the song that has died
And with it a dream
Of harmonious life.

Sing us a lullaby -
For the friends who are gone
And the love that we cherish
That we must carry on.

Sing us a lullaby -
That we shall always remember
One that pinches the heart
And will stay with us - forever.
