And Together We Count The Stars Poem by DR.GENNY ANDERSON

Miss your cheerful presence
The joy that you brought
Shared, one innocent moment
The pain that brought you.

Grief in a child's mind
Lay head down on the pillow
Soft as hay
No more bullets
No more sorrow
Under a sheltering sky.

How much have young eyes seen
The shrapnels that took away
And how much have young soul felt
When they wasted you.

Is it a fallacy
Or is it the truth
Is the truth the fallacy
That you've suffered for the folly
Rest well now
As I sing to you forgotten lullabys
And together we count the stars above.


Sleep tight tonight
Nestle your teddy tight
When you open your eyes
You will miss mother no more
