Broken Lullabies

round and round,
singin that same old song,
broken lullabies
floating along.

somewhere sweet
meets somewhere sad
when roses bloom
though thorny clad,

when rainbows shine
through darkened skies,
when for a moment
eyes meet eyes.

and in my head
when dark meets light
and dawn now fades
though night is bright,

when colors mix
and right is wrong,
when I hear again
that familiar song,

I remember roses
and skies
and eyes
and thank my God
for broken lullabies.
