Cradle Song

Little baby,so snugly sleep
sweet dream,dear child,no longer weep,
in these arms slumber deep;
Dearest ,darling,beloved child,
so innocent,so meek and mild,
we in wonder,beguiled;
Precious,perfect in miniature,
voicing gurgled thoughts so pure,
in these arms slumber sure;
A gift from heaven,all suppose,
blessed in this quiet repose,
safe,secure,as you doze.

Eloquence in a thought compressed. My dear friend, it is long time. I am writing a book and so have not been on for quite a lot. It is a joy stopping by and finding you still aglow at the craft. One love.
