Sleep, My Son
Sleep, my son, and know the happiness of an untroubled heart,
for soon you'll have to part your carefree life
and come to know the strife of an adult.
Sleep sound, my son, and in your innocence of dreams
where every day, it seems, is full of fun and play,
just dream your cares away.
Sleep tight, my son, and grow, for mighty burdens will you know and you must have strength of shoulder and courage to defeat the whims of Satan and his hatin'ways.
So, sleep, my son, and when at last you're ready,
you'll be both strong and steady,
and the current that you navigate
will lead directly to the fate you choose...
I love you…
