Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Dragon Rising ❯ A Mother's Lullaby ( Prologue )

A woman's voice sang to him, lulling him into a baby's cozy dream world.

 

I'm wishing on a star

To follow where you are

I'm wishing on a dream

To follow what it means

 

She rocked him gently back and forth in her arms, pacing quietly around the room as she sang to her little son.

 

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

I wish on all the people who really dream

And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying never comes

And I'm wishing on all the loving we've never done

 

She was warm, a comforting embrace that would always protect him from hurt and all the bad things in the world.

 

I never thought I'd see

A time when you would be

So far away from home

So far away from me

 

She was like a mother dragon, defender of her nest and nurturer of her young. He yawned and she lightly tickled his belly, earning a sleepy giggle.

 

Just think of all the moments that we'd spent

I just can't let you go from me you were meant

And I didn't mean to hurt but I know

That in the game of love you reap what you sow

 

He yawned again and his dark purple eyes drifted shut, tiny hand curling in front of his mouth. She continued to sing, gently rocking him back and forth, back and forth.

 

I'm wishing on a star

To follow where you are

I'm wishing on a dream

To follow what it means

 

She quietly paced up to his cradle and gently set him down, still singing and covering him with a warm, fluffy white blanket with a smattering of silver stars on it.

 

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

And I wish on all the people we've ever been

And I'm hoping on all the days to come and days to go

And I'm hoping on days of loving you so

 

She kissed her forehead and gently nudged the cradle and it began to sway back and forth gently.

 

I'm wishing on a star

I'm wishing on all the rainbows that I see

I'm wishing on a star…

 

She quietly put out the light of the nursery and softly closed the door partially behind her, leaving her little son to sleep in contented dreams.
