Lullaby Nursery Rhyme

Lullaby Nursery Rhyme Close your eyes, little one, Run to catch a star Let the heavens sing to you With melodies from afar. Close your eyes little one Hear your cradle song Dream of riding lullabies Gently rocked the whole night long. Close your eyes little one Float through crystal seas Glide upon a river of stars On winds of blessings free Close your eyes little one The moon kisses you good night Grace and peace cover you Swaddled in moonlight. 3-27-21 Contest: Nursery Rhyme 2 Sponsor: Eve Roper

Hi John! Thank you dear friend. These nursery rhyme themes are a treasure trove of opportunities to write lullabies and remind me of those precious memories of motherhood - especially at bedtime. Wrote music to go along with this lullaby. Have the mp3 - now I have to figure out how to download it to the soup. Hope you are doing well as you set up your tent in the Padre outfield! Sending you blessings of joy and rejoicing in this beautiful Easter season.

Thank you so much my friend for your note of congratulations and your beautiful message. While I loved the days with my boys - playing and exploring - bedtime was always a special experience of stories and songs. Writing these nursery rhymes has brought back all of those memories to tuck into these poems. Hope you are well. Blessings of sweet slumbers to you. :)"

Thank you Krish. This is very much like the lullabies I sang to my toddlers! Both were my inspiration for this lullaby. Also inspiration came from bedtime serenades I have sung for retreats and summer camps. Sending you the best of nighttime blessings!

So sweet dear Sam...A nursery rhyme that will surely put little one's into a deep sleep. I myself feel the serenity of your words that make me forget the moment and feel the bliss of slumber. Gonna fave this and revisit this when I have a hard time sleeping. Good for insomniac like me.

Thank you so much Jo. Lullabies are the tenderest of all love songs filled with love shared between parent and child and wishes of protection through the night. Would that all children experience lullabies. Blessings to you.
