James Foulk Poet Rhyme

Go To Sleep

Go to sleep my Grandchild,
dreams will come in a little while.

Close your eyes little boy,
sleep will bring much joy.

Dream land awaits you,
where troubles will be few.

about my Grandson Brandon who who turn 10 months old on April 10th.  i started saying this 
to him right after i started taking care of him back in Aug. of last year, but never had an 
ending to it until today.

Timothy Brumley April 7, 2011 at 5:28 PM There are few things more satisfying than holding your infant grandchild....and then handing him to mom when he starts crying! And so the pendulum swings. Thank you for your comment on my poem 'From My Window Lofty High" Check out my latest two 'The Unbound" and "The Ghost Dance" when you get time:)
