Sleep Soundly
Devils and demons may plague your dreams nightly. Don't be afraid, my child, for I am here to guard you. Nothing will harm you. Nothing will hurt you. Drift off into the land of dreams peacefully, for there you s will go on many grand adventures, or if you wish, you may simply curl up against your mother's breast as you once did three years ago in the middle of June. I love you, my little angel. You are the spirit of love, my sole inspiration. It is for you , and no other, that I labor beneath the sun. Were your spirit to depart this world, there would be nothing left for me. My soul would whither in the absence of your purity. Sleep softly, my little angel, and do not leave me. Sleep softly my little one. I love you.

I wrote this for a solo piece for viola that I am writing, called "Sleep Soundly." The piece is supposed to mimic a child sleeping. It begins with a dream which morphs into a nightmare. Then the child is waken up for an extended quarter rest. I wrote the above paragraph because following the rest, there comes a lullaby. After the lullaby, soldiers will come into the house and kill the mother and child.
