Hush now baby, don't you cry <br />Even one whine and you'll fry <br />In the fires of hell, a dark, scary place <br />But far better than the life you'll face <br /> <br />My child, beware the bite of the knife <br />Blades in your back will surely end your life <br />Thorns will litter your way <br />Evil follows you, demons you must slay <br /> <br />My life lived only to save you <br />An impossible task, something no one can do <br />As I lie in my grave, you're free of my stare, <br />But forever haunted, knowing you put me there<br /><br />Joyce Rugg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lullaby-85/
