dragons

wish I could sing you a lullaby
wish I could sing you to sleep
wish I could take away all of your bad dreams
wish I could have here with me

wish I could swallow your sadness
wish I could take away your fear
wish I could pull you into my arms
wish I could always have your heart to hear

wish I could be the general in all your battles
wish I could fight a million demons
wish I could right you wrongs
wish I could eat away your tears

sometimes when it’s late, and you’re lonely
when the world is knocking on your door
when there seems like there is no hope, or
chance of survival, or
when fear has struck you cold
just know that I love you; and
i will always build a castle high;
engage dragons to defend us,
to have you here with me.
