Keep Focusing On the Good Things, Mommy

Keep focusing on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me-- 


months ago I sang the same song 
to lull you to sleep 
while you had bad dreams,
the human world big and terrible
and cold and mean 


Focus on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me--
my little pink toes in the sunshine, 
radiant whiskered reverie 


Focus on the good things, Mommy, 
focus on me--
my morning mews and tiny face
ready to smile and sing 


Focus on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me--
running close behind you
diving into sunbeams 

It's hard outside 
but we can be happy here
you and me


Focus on the good things, Mommy,
focus on me--


Keep focusing on the good things, Mommy--
Keep focusing on me

I'll sing for you
until it's safe  

to dream
