A Mother's Lullaby

God loves His little ones.
Blessed will they be,
Lullabyed by angels 
In sweet harmony.
Lovingly chosen by 
Their Lord above,
Parents bestow on them
Unstinting love.
Happiness and blessings 
On each little head.
He who would harm them
Has reason to dread.
God watches over them.
Angels assist.
Contented the child
Whom a mother has kissed.
Dear little one
You have nothing to fear
With God and the angels 
And Mother so near.
