Tiny socks on the chair
Storybooks in a crooked stack
Nightlight painting the bear
On the wall where the shadows laugh
Starlight in your room
Moonlight on your hair
I’ll be here till morning
Breathing the same soft air
Dream
My little one
Drift in silver bloom
You’re safe in every heartbeat
Starlight in your room
Rocking chair
Gentle creak
Quiet hum of the hallway vent
You sigh once in your sleep
Like you finally know what safe means
Starlight in your room
Moonlight on your hair
I’ll be here till morning
Breathing the same soft air
Dream
My little one
Drift in silver bloom
You’re safe in every heartbeat
Starlight in your room
[Voice a hush
Almost spoken]
If the dark ever feels too wide
Close your eyes
I’m by your side
Dream
My little one
Till the day peeks through
You’re my whole wide sky
And the stars chose you
