Baby Cush

Oh! this cry that aches my heart,
folded fist, the size of my pie
kick,kick..I just can't fight,
this swaddling cloth beside my thigh.

Sssssh... and I'll sing you a lullaby,
Christmas carol or ocean drive,
kick,kick...oh! I cannot fight,
this swaddling cloth before my eyes.

shake shake....I beam with a smile,
furious cries and teary eyes,
kick kick and a fart with ease,
this swaddling cloth I cannot resist.

rock rock, I lay it to sleep,
kisses and affection,showers from me,
its gentle head upon the breast,
this swaddling babe, my heart's gem.
