Go to sleep my little one

Many years ago when I was a schoolteacher, I met a former pupil on my way home from school, and during the course of our conversation, she asked me if I would write a reference for her, as he was applying for a job. She seemed hopeful and excited about her future prospects. I was delighted to do this for her, as it was such an easy reference to write; she had been one of the sweetest, gentlest and most thoughtful pupils that I'd ever taught.
However I found out early one morning that following week, that she had been killed by a reckless driver. What a waste of a beautiful life, so full of potential.
I was so saddened by this news, and seeing that I had a free period after our school's morning assembly, I lingered at the piano I'd been playing, and sat quietly there playing whichever tunes came to mind, shedding tears as I played.
A new melody came to me as I was praying for Pauline and her family, and a very clear image of God, came to my mind. He was holding close to his heart, a precious child, a baby.
I knew then that Pauline was safe in his arms. This song became a lullaby which gave me such peace of mind, and peace in my soul.
