A Mother’s Lullaby

 

Hush, my sweet, my little one—the night has come, it’s time to sleep.
I’ll rock you—close, sleepy eyes, it’s time to rest and grow an inch!
In dream land frolic with great joy—tomorrow you’ll be a man.

Capture time in a bottle; fill it with love and secret dreams.
A soft song and loving arms to dry your tears and charm your smile.
Rock-a-bye, sweet little boy, some day you’ll sleep in other arms.
