For J



Rest your head dear One
I will watch over You

Do not fear the dark
For I am with You

Do not be startled Child
I will hold you close

Close your eyes
And drift off to sleep

You are not alone
No matter what

Only say the word
And I will be there

I am Yours forever dear One
I am with You always

We are bound in blood and name
You are mine and I am Yours

Go to sleep Daughter
May sweetest dreams be Yours
Rest deeply my Sweet
I am here
Forevermore
