Uncle Moon so far away, jaggery donut cooked for the day, You come and eat in the courtyard, for Baby, a cup is prepared. Uncle moon afar, twinkling star, Please come on the river banks, near or far, Please bring rice and milk porridge in a golden pot, So that baby takes a sip, with a quiet strut, Sweetness in his mouth, like a secret hut. Hush, little baby, don't you cry, Momma's gonna sing you a lullaby. With stars above and dreams so sweet, Drift away on a cloud, my sweet.

Precious memories of childhood lullaby, Jay. So soothing to the little ones, as they drift off to sleep. Thanks for sharing this one with us, my friend. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
