Lullaby
for a Man of Consequence on his Birthday
Hush, child.
Lie down your head
and get yourself some sleep.
The cares
of grown-ups in this world
are not yet yours to keep.
Your dad's
a man of consequence
to people good and bad.
But sleep:
what they think matters not,
what does is he's your dad.
So, sleep now.
Morning will come.
Your dad his word will keep.
Hush, child.
Forget, forgive,
and get yourself some sleep.
