A Lullaby
Breathe deeply, dear, my sleepyhead
love hovers ‘round you during sleep.
Now close your eyes, don’t make a peep,
release that frown, your prayers all said.
Your toys will nap while you’re at rest.
Inside your mind, sweet dreams sashay
and starlight twinkles clap hooray.
When day is done, the night is blessed.
Your Papa's watching at the door
attacking trolls with all his might.
Your blanket holds you thru the night
and pillows listen to you snore.
God stays awake after you pray
as Nana sings this lullaby.
We care for you, dear sweetie pie;
when you wake up …
(Nana falls asleep)
