The Gentle Hush Of Midnight 

 

By Sharon Lea

 

Don't not worry at all
at the hush of midnight
the stars sing in harmony
and nothing else matters
The moon reassures you
whispering a gentle lullaby
the most tender kind of tune
reminding you of twilight
your mother cradling you
and nothing else matters
except her tender warmth
stroking your hair sweetly
talking in hushed tones
and nothing else matters
except the immense love
the universe and life itself
shining all around you
and nothing else matters
as you look up in awe
thinking of all the babies
being born under the stars
at that very moment
mothers cradling them
against their warm breasts
reassuring with great love
at the hush of midnight
across a troubled world
mothers are soothing
whispering to little ones
stroking their fine hair
the moon reassures you
with immense love
as you look up in awe
at the hush of midnight
and nothing else matters
