Rock-a-by, rock-a-by lollipop moon
the sun's gone away, and none too soon
for dreamy time flowers are waiting to bloom
so rock-a-by, rock-a-by lullaby moon
~from Carin Berger's book on my sidebar
I made up a tune, so I can sing this to my kiddos
Now he thinks he'll go to sleep
I can see the shadows creep
Over his eyes in soft eclipse,
Over his brow and over his lips,
Out to his little finger-tips
Softly sinking, down he goes
Down he goes, down he goes
See, he's hushed in sweet repose
~JGH, Cradle Song
I will lie down and sleep in peace
for You alone, O Lord,
make me to dwell in safety.
~Psalm 4:8
both my kiddos know this verse,
and we say it together if they ever wake
from a bad dream
it seems to really calm them
