Lullaby

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.

In the Morning

One in the morning,
A yawn and a turn,
Back under
The covers to
Slumber
Once more.

Three in the morning,
A sigh and a roll,
Back under
The covers but
Sleep
Eludes.

Three twenty two,
Eyes open wide,
Leg it
Downstairs,
Cuppa
Write … right?
