Tonight as you close your eyes
An angel whispers in your ear
I will sing you a lullaby
of the dark my child, have no fear.
In the day,
when you are gone
an Angel watches you play
and whispers "I will keep you strong"
As you say your prayers
An angel whispers "praise be"
for you may not see her, but she is right there
there whispering silently.
Angel whispers in yout ear
"precious child of God"
Wipe away all your tears
you have done nothing wrong
As you lay down your little head
Angel whispers pleasant dreams
She stands at the foot of your bed
as you drift off to sleep.
Goodnight

See, this is exactly the type of poetry that i like. straight forward rhymes. either regular rhymes or slant rhymes. it all stuck and were powerful. the topic and content were deep in itself, but when it said goodnight at the end. i almsot melted. i loved it

Lovely wording, nice feel to this, full of emotion and love.

This poem is one of beauty, it is almost like a lullaby or a prayer for a child, in my opinion, you've done a great job, love the background!

This is so sweet and so sad.I can relate to this poem
Tonight as you close your eyes
An angel whispers in your ear
I will sing you a lullaby

In the day,
when you are gone

Such beautiful imagery and hope that an Angel will be there to guide you when you fear the most and feel the most vulnerable. I wish I could've believed in that when I was younger, it would've comforted me. Mind you, my sister was like an Angel, looking after me and holding my hand until I fell asleep. Lovely girl, still is.

I liked this until I read the "God" part, it's probably my fault because I neglected to mention on the page that I hate "God" poetry, because it goes against what I believe in. Sorry if I mislead you etc, because technically this poem is really good, and there are a lot of positive features within your writing.
This background really works with this poem because it is soft, pink and fluffy! Very pretty!
Thanks for entering
