don't rush past

shhh, she whispered
as she held him close
my love keeps the night at bay

shhh, she whispered
as she stroked his hair
don't worry come what may

shhh, she whispered
as she kissed his face
the morn never fails to come

shhh, she whispered
though a tear touched her cheek
your cup overflows with grace

shhh, she whispered
as his eyes slowly closed
rest well though you wander far

shhh, she whispered
as his head reached her lap
He knows your dreams yet unspoken

shhh, she whispered
as his breath crept away
there's your room in unending day
