Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Be Still, My Love

hush now
my darling
close your eyes
be still your mind

let me gently
rock to and fro 
hold you tight
and keep you warm

to your ear
I’ll sing softly 
lovely little nothings 
I will whisper

let me hum
gently to you 
my sweetest
lullaby

You are SO funny, Gershon. I'd prepare a hot toddy for you to knock you right out. LOL

You are right~ this poem was meant for an adult and not a baby. Thank you for your lovely visit and compliment, Juliet.
