Nighttime Lullaby

Wave your magic wand o'er my droopy eyes
   Lay my tousled head upon your tender arm
Sing a soothing, soft, nighttime lullaby
   Lift me gently heavenward, away from all harm

Aw, thank you so much, Jean. Hopefully that little head belongs to a child --- not one of those who spent $400M in Illinois during January at marijuana stores. LOL. Thanks, Jean! :) Gershon

G'day Gershon … from my point of view Gershon, your verse is a lovely little prayer for children at bedtime - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Children up to the age of 90... Everyone is someone's child, after all! Smiles, Gershon
