My Childhood Lullabies

When I was a child I enjoyed the lullaby Each evening of the whistling train going by Thousands of tree frogs singing in harmony With hoot owls language spoken so beautifully The sound the wind makes blowing through the trees Catching swirling dancing leaves Momma and daddy's quiet whispers of love The giggles of siblings from the room above I closed my eyes with a prayer in my heart Awaiting tomorrows promise ,of a brand new start ©Donna Jones
