Day 18 – write a lullaby
Catching up nicely now! This will teach me to fall behind – an epic poetry writing day
Lullaby
Listen to mama, shhhh, shhhh,
Loving you so,
Close your eyes, shhhh, shhhh,
To beddlums you go.
Into your dreams, shhhh, shhhh,
Quiet and near,
Slumber so close, shhhh, shhhh,
Soft voice in your ear.
My hand strokes your brow, shhhh, shhhh,
Child of mine,
Your scent fills me up, shhhh, shhhh,
My babe so fine.
Listen to mama, shhhh, shhhh,
Loving you so,
Close your eyes, shhhh, shhhh,
To beddlums you go.

Sleep-inducing, in the best possible way! And is there really such a thing as a cradle chair? Could have done with one a few years ago!

Thanks Marina, I found the image on t’internet, so I guess there is such a thing – I’d have liked one too

This could be a good one for audio, Polly.
