Hush, hush little one
Don't you weep anymore
Your sweet little soul
Is at rest evermore

Hush, hush little babe
Don't cry out in fear
The angels will guide you
To stand with Me here

Hush, hush lovely gift
They shall wrap you in peace
Their wings will warm you
Like a lamb's snowy fleece

Hush, hush tiny soul
There is no harm here
Relax your worried brow
Let your angst disappear

Hush, hush little one
We will keep you safe
Until your loved ones arrive
At our heavenly gates.

I wrote this poem after hearing about a baby that had been abused and died.
