603. Instead

Sleep silently yee of tiny hearts
Our Maker watches over you
Listen carefully for the whisper of His words
Dream of those persons who love you too
Take comfort in the blanket that keeps you warm
Seek peace in lullabies that soothe your soul
Fill your thoughts with smiles of those older
Pray for others like you you’ll never know
So tiny you remain the hope of all man
Your future unwritten by hands so small
Great promise do you bear for those still coming
The key to salvation forever possible for us all
Enjoy your time now spent just growing
The thrill of existence lays outside your bed
Wish not for a time of being much older
For once here you’ll wish to be you now instead
