hush-a-bye baby don't you cry
daddy's off to war, about to die
and all your trials now
will soon be over
hush-a-bye baby don't you weep
let angel's watch over you as you sleep
and all your trials now
will soon be over
so hush-a-bye baby go to sleep
and pray the lord your soul to keep
and should you die before you wake
then pray the devil is too late...

I love this, I truly do. But, I'm afraid it can't stay in this contest, it imentions death and things of such nature. I wish you had entered this into a different contest of mine, it totally would have won. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ok i have to agree witht he other comments its deep and extremly good..but this is designed for children aded 0-5 so death and war are kind OUT of the question at the end of the day these poems will be used in my coures work and read by acshal children aged 0-5 and i can not use this! that aside it is a really gd poem
