It will soon be tomorrow
and all these pains will be gone.
I'll hold on one more night,
for Father will be here when I wake.
He'll hold me tenderly.
He'll say those words that
make me smile,
and take me home
Where I'll find love,again.
Where my dreams will take flight
And my heart will be merry.
It will soon be tomorrow
and joy will come.
I'll hold on one more night.
I'll dream of my hero.

Hi,

This was sweet.The tone works really well.

I'd change "beam with smiles", because you're basically saying "smile with smiles" which is unnecessary. I'd cut the dash after "home" as you don't need it, and put a comma after "again" and cut the full-stop after "flight".

Hope this helps,
Jas
