Fall to sleep my child
So I can carry you away
For now it won't be long
'Til you're with Me to stay
I know I can't convince you,
With similes or metaphors
For your young mind cannot entertain
The wonders I have in store
You try so hard to trust Me
You've made it very clear,
So trust without understanding-
For you know I hold you dear
I know that there are things
That you wish to do on Earth
And you can't understand
That more than that is Heaven's worth.
Hush my little baby
Please now, don't you cry
I love you oh so very much
That I sent my Son to die
Hush my little baby
Please now, don't you cry
Innocence was punished
That now with me you can abide.
Hush my little baby
Please now, don't you cry
Don't worry 'bout your family
There's no need for "good bye".
Hush my little baby
Please now, don't you cry
Go to sleep my little one
Let My promises lullaby

This was very very good and no wonder Sam picked this
and this was very well done , sad as it was going to be , but it made the right points and could not have said it or wrote it better myself. Hope it gave Sam the peace she needed.
