From: MMario

subtitled: the Uncles' Lament

Hush now, little child
You're safe here in my arms
There's nothing here can harm you
I'll shelter you from harm

I wonder can your parents know
What they have shared with me?
It sets my soul to singing
The wonder that is thee

Soon I must return you
In a moment, mayhaps two
My arms will surely miss this weight
They've grown accustomed to....

Some day if I am lucky
Another child I'll hold
One neither begged nor borrowed
But a child of my own

Until that day shall come to pass
Or if it never does
I'll take these moments granted me
To share and care with love

Hush now, little child
I know that you're not mine
So let my love enfold you
While I still have this time

Soon I must return you
Just a moment, perhaps two
My arms will sorely miss the weight
They've grown accustomed to....

Hush now, little child
Rest and peaceful be
and may you always know such joy
As you have given me.
^^
