Longing For a Lullaby
by Valerie Robins
This is the hardest time to leave you
The hardest to say goodbye
Its like forever has come knocking
And you opened the door
The breeze has been let in
Somehow, I've grown cold
Forgive me
For all the times I'm 5 years old
For when I speak too soon
And hesitate to listen
For when I fail to notice sweetness in your eyes
And all the times I fail to let you forgive me
Sometimes it's just hard
To let go
To set you free
Is to release a precious part of me
I don't know if I'm ready
But in the meantime,
Forgive me.
