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.
