_Hush, small one, and fall asleep_ _If slumber won't come, then count the sheep_ _If sheep don't bleat, I'll be right here_ _Here to hold my baby dear._ _Smile, young one, come laugh with me_ _We're under the sun, here at the sea,_ _Why be afraid? The sand won't bite_ _And if it does, you're in my sight._ _Oh, little one, don't shed a tear_ _I know it's hard to feel such fear_ _Just hug me tight and close your eyes_ _It'll work--would I ever tell you lies?_ _Shh, dear one, and take a breath_ _I'll love you far beyond my death_ _Always, always, I'll be right here_ _Here to hold my baby dear._ 2008-02-17T00:54:39Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/21444 <p>Awwww, I love this!!
