Lullaby Baby, good night
The Moon is right by your side
Lullaby Baby, sleep tight
And enjoy a Moonlight ride
Lullaby Baby, sweet dreams
The Stars twinkle in your eyes
Lullaby Baby, it seems
You take the Stars by surprise
rose-covered blankets
tuck infants in
honey-tongued lyrics
fall on soft skin
eyelids so smooth
shut ever-so-lightly
angel wings soothe
whisk away nightly
be an angel
hush
my baby
close your eyes
hush
my darling
go to sleep

I wake up in a room full of mirrors,
a funhouse of distortion
where reality is blurred.
I gasp, for in one of the mirrors,
I see a young version of me—
rocking and singing a lullaby
to my newborn baby girl,
with a full head of dark hair.
By my side, a little boy with blue eyes and blond hair—
a million-dollar family.
Sighing contently, I hold them close to me.
A muffled sound—sobbing—is heard in the distance,
the sound alarmingly familiar.
The mother sobs uncontrollably,
her graying hair and lines on her face
reveal a much older version of myself,
clutching to her heart
a picture of a beautiful, brown-eyed girl with dimples.
In the mirror, she reads: RIP.
The mirror doesn’t lie.
If I were a dewdrop, I'd wish I were a blossom.
If I were a blossom, I'd wish I were a butterfly.
If I were a butterfly, I'd wish I were a dewdrop.
Where does all the wishing end?
In a little house, where there is golden honey light,
a wind-kissed garden, some star-woven lullabies, and Grandmother,
laying the tapestry of tomorrow on the sandalwood table.
And Aarohi, Aarohi, sitting at that table,
eyes sparkling like monsoon rain on lotus leaves,
wishing to be there.
My sweet little baby, don’t you cry,
You are Mommy’s sweetie pie.
I love you a bushel and a peck,
And a big hug around the neck.
I love you to the moon and back,
Even more than a duck that goes quack-quack.
But most of all, I love you morning and night,
And I love you with all my all might.
Let me whisper in your ear,
I love you there, everywhere, but most of all I love you here.
Now close your eyes and go to sleep,
Dream of puppy dogs and bahbah little white sheep.
Two wonders,
born into our lives twelve and
ten years ago.
A girl and a boy,
my grandchildren,
in the little house in Haw Creek,
I held them less than a year old
as they slept on my chest,
as I walked them up and down
the creaking wooden floor hallway.
Soft lullabies, baby board books,
spontaneous laughter so endearing.
Their drawings in chalk on concrete,
playing in their yard of all seasons,
watching His birds raise their young,
being the blessed Lord's creations themselves.
Oh, years, can you slow down some?
My daughter, son-in-law, and I,
we love their precious youth.
In the priceless art of children,
their drawings in chalk on concrete,
etched across our hearts. ~
Apple of My Eye
Psalm 17:8
“Keep me as the apple of the eye*, hide me under the shadow of thy wings. “
Chorus:
Apple of my eye
Baby, please don't cry
I'll keep you safe
I'll carry you
And keep you as the apple of my eye
Verse:
We fight against wickedness in high places
Every Christian faces…
The darkness…
Never sleeps
Sometimes we know defeat
Under His wings we can hide
In His love abide
Until we're strengthened once again
Climb upon His lap
Tuck your head beneath His chin
Close your eyes
Listen to His lullaby
Chorus:
Apple of my Eye
Baby, please don't cry
I'll keep you safe
I'll carry you
And keep you as
The apple of my Eye
He’s a sad Bunny
With floppy ears
Sadly button eyes
they can’t shed tears
Bottom of the pile
New toys on top
He needed Beth’s help
To hippity hop
With imagination
she brought Bunny joy
He was her best friend
More than just a toy
Many years now passed
Beth searches for Bunny
A gift for her baby
who names Bunny Honey
Bunny’s happy again
That fuzzy lovely feel
Hippity hop heaven
Love makes Bunny real
Bunny’s round tail
has long been gone
But Bunny still sings
lovely bunny songs
She cuddles him close
Pets worn floppy ears
Bright Bunny button eyes
with no need of tears.
Uncle Moon so far away,
jaggery donut cooked for the day,
You come and eat in the courtyard,
for Baby, a cup is prepared.
Uncle moon afar, twinkling star,
Please come on the river banks, near or far,
Please bring rice and milk porridge in a golden pot,
So that baby takes a sip, with a quiet strut,
Sweetness in his mouth, like a secret hut.
Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
Momma's gonna sing you a lullaby.
With stars above and dreams so sweet,
Drift away on a cloud, my sweet.
Slumber, sweet baby, slumber so tight,
Under the beaver moon's warm orange light.
Like the Christ-child in a nest so slight,
Slumber, sweet baby, slumber.
Hush now, dear baby, dream so serene,
Of fairies twirling in the moon's silver sheen.
Feel my touch, love's gentle stream,
Hush now, dear baby, hush.
Rest, precious baby, in slumber's embrace,
A snowman awaits with a carrot nose and a snowy face.
White rabbits sleep, nestled in this tranquil space,
Rest, precious baby, rest.
Lay your weary head
Inside my warm embrace
I'll wrap my arms around you
Within them now encased
Comforted between them
Free from want or care
No chaos or mayhem
Let that go on elsewhere
Close your eyes, I've got you
Rest in knowing this
And should a little tear fall
I'll dry it with a kiss
I'll take all your troubles
And put them onto me
You just breathe in deeply
Much better now, you see?
You're tired, come, I'll hold you tight
I'll all your worries keep
And sing you gentle lullabies
Sleep now baby, sleep
In Mama's arms you're safe and warm,
As she rocks you gently, there's no fear of harm,
So close your sleepy little eyes,
Hush your crying and fretful sighs.
Drift away to a special place,
Where sweet dreams wrap you in warm embrace.
Let them carry you along,
As Mama sings a soothing song.
Floating on a pillow cloud,
Only happy thoughts allowed.
Reach up to grab a star or two,
While the man in the moon winks at you.
You'll see angels flying near,
Keeping watch 'cause you're so dear.
They'll even play peek-a-boo,
Hiding in the clouds with you.
And when you awaken from your nap,
Mama will place you in her lap.
She'll feed you a bottle made just for you,
And when you've finished, you'll play and coo.
Sleep now baby, I know you're tired
I'll be sitting here by the fire
Keeping watch over you from afar
Sending you kisses from my guitar
Rest your head now, maybe dream
While here my love flows like a stream
That makes the surrounding water sweet
And cools the points where our bodies meet
Skin on skin, a big snowstorm
Body heat to keep us warm
Passion is the fuel that feeds
Fulfills desires, satisfies needs
silent night serene ~
everlasting lullaby
Jesus the newborn
