being fooled by a child
while singing a song
a melody under that tree,

he smiles tells you the same
think again… and again
you smile and sing on, under that oak tree,

little you is running high above
the clouds screaming
with delight, joy in every breath

he says goodbye
but you don’t cry,
you simply say
“I’ll see you at home
my dear lullaby.”
