a blanket’s tale

hey there sweet baby,
did i cover you well tonight?

i felt you wake up midway,
little child is everything alright?

hey there sweet baby,
why are you still curled up inside?

the sun came out hours ago,
sweet prince is everything all fine?

hey there sweet baby,
what for do you shiver and tremble?

passers-by walk on the street,
won’t you join them out in life?

hey there sweet baby,
do you want my cover for a while?

the cat meows outside though,
won’t you give him his breakfast?

hey there sweet baby,
why don’t you answer my questions?

the day is vibrant and warm,
why are you so pale and cold?
