Carolyn Devonshire Poet Rhyme

Sleep, My Angel

Sleep, my angel, sleep
Our joy will hold until tomorrow
When we both shall rise
When the sunlight opens up our eyes

Dream, my darling, dream
May gentle visions grace your mind
As owls croon the night
The moon casts to Earth its light

Smile, sweet child, smile
Let princes grace your fantasies
Bring you wondrous love
While the Lord smiles down from above


*For Tracie's "Lullabye" contest

Andrea Dietrich April 1, 2010 at 12:26 PM A very sweet lullabye and great flow, Carolyn. about my "apple" that happened five years ago. The kid's image has now gone from my mind. It's sure hard to remember after so many students, what they all looked like! But at least I know he resembled Paul Simon becuase I wrote that down. haha. LUv, andrea
